The Big Picture Adria Arjona has been showing off her impeccable craft and great range for years now, but Hit Man might be one of her most impressive performances of the bunch. She isn’t playing a femme fatale in the film, rather, she’s playing a woman playing a femme fatale to better suit what she thinks her new beau wants to see in a potential partner — which is exactly what he’s doing to her. It's a mighty complicated concept that demands the most refined screenplay and deft performances.
Thanks to her father, Arjona grew up surrounded by both movies and music. However, when she stopped spending time on a tour bus with her dad, she struggled to find a creative outlet. His encouragement to keep pursuing one, however, pointed her in the right direction. By nudging her out the door, Mr. Kinnard put Arjona on a path to one of the greatest acting programs out there, Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City. Why did Arjona choose that program in particular? She credits a curiosity about method acting.
Little did Arjona know at the time, soon she’d get the opportunity to not only learn from D’Onofrio, but act alongside him. In 2017, Arjona starred as Dorothy Gale in the highly anticipated NBC series, Emerald City, directed by the wildly ambitious visionary, Tarsem Singh. D’Onofrio played the show’s Wizard. "To do Emerald City and for him to play The Wizard of Oz and to be acting alongside him like a mentor, really, I mean, I learned so much from him.
Arjona’s willingness to ask questions, learn and evolve her craft has served her well over the years. After Pacific Rim Uprising, she tackled ambitious action films like Triple Frontier and 6 Underground, joined one of the most beloved franchises of all-time, Star Wars via Andor, and now beautifully brings the complexity of Madison’s situation to screen in Hit Man.
“She's putting on this character for Ron and thinking that that's maybe who he'll want. She comes from a relationship which is kind of traumatizing and dark, and you can tell that has some psychological control over her, so much that she sees no other option than to kill him. Then Ron gives her a different perspective and goes, ‘Hey, by the way, you have another option.
