An office worker named Wes Gibson (James McAvoy) is recruited by an organization of assassins called The Fraternity, which was founded by a society of Weavers over a thousand years ago. The idea is that they get binary code messages in the cloth to instruct them who to assassinate.
The leader of The Fraternity, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), tells Wesley that his father was killed by a rogue agent named Cross (Thomas Kretschmann of KING KONG, FRANKENSTEIN TV movie) and that it's up to him to bring him to justice. Wes is trained by Fox (Angelina Jolie). However, after he kills Cross he finds out that Cross was not only the good guy but that he was really his father. The Fraternity has gone rogue and are working for their own purposes.
There are lots of computer generated effects that involve cars doing gymnastics, bullets curving around objects, bullets colliding with each other. And it's my theory that Angelina Jolie is also a computer generated effect, not a real person.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (NIGHTWATCH series)
Based on Mark Millar's graphic novel
