Hit Man

In the end, Gary’s transformation reaches its peak when he crosses the boundary between pretending to be someone else and actually becoming someone capable of murder. Throughout the film, he struggles with ethical doubts and his desire for excitement, but ultimately, his immersion in the world of fake hitmen and the personas he adopts start to blur his moral lines. When he kills Jasper by placing a bag over his head, it signifies his complete descent into morally unrestrained actions—though this act was initially motivated by his need to protect himself in a dangerous situation, it marks a turning point where Gary fully embraces his darker nature.

By the film’s conclusion, Gary has internalized the persona of Ron so deeply that he’s now living a life where murder seems almost just another part of his reality. His relationship with Madison has solidified into a family, and he’s learned to accept the unpredictable, volatile aspects of life with a newfound confidence. At the same time, the old versions of himself still linger beneath the surface, only subdued rather than eliminated—a reminder that change is complex and layered. Gary’s story ends with him sharing the lesson of embracing the unexpected, hinting that he’s come to terms with his capacity for violence and chaos, which he now views as an inevitable facet of human nature. He’s no longer just a fake hitman; he’s a man who’s crossed the line and redefined who he is, boldly walking into an uncertain future.
