Netflixs Glen Powell star vehicle Hit Man is a major success and the new hit has redeemed a surprisingly similar movie that arrived to little fanfare some 13 years ago. Richard Linklater has had an interesting career, to say the least. While fellow 90s independent directors like Gus Van Sant and Larry Clark largely turned their back on the mainstream, a look back on Richard Linklaters best movies proves that he never stopped moving between ambitious indie efforts and more accessible fare. For every School of Rock that Linklater directed, there is a project like A Scanner Darkly.
