You can say things turn for the better of maybe the worse when Wesley is approached be Fox (Jolie), a member of an elite society of assassins run by Sloan (Freeman). She was sent to bring the youngster in so that he can be recruited into their organization to replace his father, who was one of their best assassin killed by a rival assassin who the boy is to kill. Wondering why they would want a buffoon like him, he soon realizes that he has the same killing skills that his father possessed and practices until he is soon one of the top assassins out.

Reel Talk:

This movie is on another level of action. The action is fast pace and the special effects provide for a visual treat. It is good to finally see some freshness in a movie for a change. Angelina Jolie is the # 1 female action heroine in films to date. There is no other female actress out that is even remotely capable to claim such rights. From beginning to the end this movie is a bonafide action pack thriller that when you leave the theater, you'll say it was worth the price of admission.
