Hit Man - Glen Powell is Actually Insane (in a good way)?

Okay, so I just got out of Hit Man and I'm buzzing. Glen Powell is ridiculously charismatic, right? But it's more than just charm. He completely sells you on Gary AND all the hitman personas he creates. Like, the transformation into Ron? Wild. Did anyone else find themselves genuinely believing he was a completely different person each time? I usually find Powell a little... vanilla, honestly, but he really surprised me here. Adria Arjona was fantastic too, and their chemistry was off the charts. But Powell's ability to switch gears SO quickly, and his physical comedy?? There's a scene after the first "hit" that had me actually gasping for air I was laughing so hard. I'm usually not a huge fan of action-comedies, but the way they balanced the humor with the underlying tension was spot on. I could feel the stakes ratcheting up as the movie went on. What I'm wondering is, did anyone else think the movie played with the idea of identity really well? Like, is Gary actually a blank slate who just becomes whatever he needs to be? Or is there a core Gary that's just suppressed? He seems so comfortable in these fake personas (especially Ron!), it makes you wonder what's the real him. And I'm curious, did the ending work for you? Without spoiling too much, I have thoughts, but I want to see what everyone else thought first! Is it too dark? Or is it the perfect ending for a movie this crazy? Let's discuss!
