Wesley's father was also a member and now that he's recently deceased, Wesley is heir to the skills of a master hitman and the Fraternity bring him onboard. That is, until he is approached out of the blue by the mysterious Fox (Angelina Jolie), a highly trained assassin who is part of a secret society called the Fraternity. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a bored and downtrodden office worker who gets bullied by his boss while his best friend is sleeping with his girlfriend. That being the case, if your going to go far you night as well go all out and be as innovative as you possibly can.
I, normally, find that the genre always goes a little too far. Action is not normally a genre I'm drawn to but when it's done without reservation, I can completely enter into it.
