The new film Hit Man is quickly becoming popular on HBO Max, currently ranking as the fourth most-watched movie worldwide. It’s behind Leonardo DiCaprio’s highly-rated One Battle After Another at number one, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon in second, and the horror film Clown in a Cornfield in third. Hit Man was co-written by Richard Linklater, Glen Powell, and Skip Hollandsworth, and is inspired by the true story of Gary Johnson, though the character of Madison, played by Adria Arjona, and her storyline are made up.

In the rural areas, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes), who appeared in ’28 Years Later’, resides in a place called The Bone Temple – a structure filled with the skulls of the infected, where he’s managed to stay safe. He isn’t the only familiar face; Samson (Chi Lewis-Parry), the large, infected, and naked leader of wandering groups, also returns. Kelson, covered in iodine, is using his medical expertise to try to control the infected’s violent cannibalism, and he’s starting to see glimmers of Samson’s former self. Kelson’s research might hold the key to a cure, while Sir Jimmy’s actions threaten to further reduce the already dwindling human population.
