Glen Powell confirms heâs more than just a handsome capybara in this supremely entertaining Richard Linklater romp. He delivers a tour de force comic performance as a mild-mannered college professor who stumbles into a second career impersonating killers-for-hire in undercover police operations, leading to an ill-advised affair with a gorgeous mark (Adria Arjona). Admittedly, the romantic element stands out less than the scenes involving Powell, in various disguises, duping suspects. But he and Arjona have enough hot-person chemistry to fog up the screen whenever they appear together.
