League of Assassins

Life is a meaningless repetition for Wesley (James McAvoy), a young clerk. Every day he has to endure the nagging of his obese boss, his best friend sleeping with his girlfriend, and he has to constantly take drugs to control his fast heartbeat. On this day, he was rescued by a strange woman from being chased by a crazy gunman and entered the world of the Assassin League. The savior Firefox (Angelina Jolie) and the league leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman) told Wesley that his father who abandoned him back then was also a member of the organization and was recently killed by the traitor Cross. Wesley must grow up in harsh training as soon as possible in order to protect himself and even avenge his father. The League of Assassins originated from the textile guild. They decide who to assassinate according to the codes provided by the textile machines, thus complying with the arrangement of fate. Wesley quickly mastered a series of assassination methods with his excellent talent and became a member of the organization. He began to perform the tasks assigned by fate, and gradually approached the goal of seeking revenge on Cross. Finally, Sloan ordered Wesley to go to Eastern Europe to assassinate Cross. However, during this mission, Wesley accidentally discovered the conspiracy within the organization, and this time, he no longer used escape to solve the problem. The film won the 2009 British Empire Film Award for Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Film.
