If you loved Hit Man, try Slacker
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Slacker has roughly 4.8× fewer votes than Hit Man — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Richard Linklater, and they both carry the cozy mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Hit Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Slacker is
Austin, Texas, here, idles like a cosmic waiting room where ambition goes to nap. The film drifts between eccentrics—one man’s monologue on dreams rouses only a cabbie’s blink, while a hustler peddles Madonna merch with unsettling sincerity. Not exactly a how-to on getting ahead.
