They call themselves 'The Fraternity'. Wesley Gibson (McAvoy) is a frustrated individual whose leading a very normal life, working as an accountant. He gets kidnapped by Fox (Jolie) and is taken to Sloan (Freeman) the leader of The Fraternity. He learns that his father was once a part of this organisation but was murdered by Cross (Kretschmann). Cross was once a part of the organisation too, but betrayed them and started killing each member one by one. His father was a victim. Since he is son, he has inherited this ability and must train himself and one day take his revenge. The story has an interesting twist towards the end which makes you keep your attention on the movie. 2 hours of nice action-packed thrilling performance is what you will get from the movie. What you wont get is the urge to watch it twice. You may not be able to digest the highly-dramatic and insane stunts, but you will get used to it over time.
Thumbs up: Astounding action
Thumbs down: Slow beginning and very generic
Rating: 6.9/10
