Richard Linklater is the producer, writer and director of the romantic black comedy film Hit Man.  The film's main plot centres on a professor who spends his nights working as a type of hitman for his local police agency. He enters a risky and dubious field after becoming attracted to a woman who hires him. Glen Powell, Adria Arjona, Austin Amelio, and Retta play important roles throughout the movie. After a brief theatrical run on June 7, 2024, the film dropped on Netflix for exclusive streaming. Hit Man Movie Review: Glen Powell and Adria Arjona's Film is a Sexy Noir Masquerading as Black Comedy!

Unfortunately, on the occasion of its release, Hit Man was leaked. It has reportedly been illegally issued in high definition on torrent websites, including MovieRulz, Tamilrockers, 1337x, and Telegram channels in HD and 4K format.

This is not the first time movies have been leaked before or after release, as piracy has become rampant these days. Illegal torrents of movies and shows often appear on these sites on the day of their release. Despite many strict actions and restrictions, previously blocked sites have resurfaced, perpetuating piracy. Cyber cells should take strict action against these websites. Richard Linklater Reveals Why He Was Disappointed With His 1993 Film Dazed and Confused.
