In case you haven’t noticed, Angelina Jolie is smoking hot. But that’s not what makes this movie so great; it’s great because the average guy wishes he could escape his humdrum life as a desk jockey, forced to fall on the corporate sword every day at a dead-end job while he struggles to keep his head above water. Don’t kid yourself, you know this to be true.

Wesley (James McAvoy) finds out that his father was an assassin who’s just been killed, and that he can pretty much own anybody he wants because, just like pops, he’s got super-human powers he didn’t even realize he had. Once he gets a grip on his abilities by training with an elite assassin’s guild, he sets out to find and kill the man who murdered dear ol’ dad. Wesley uses his super-sweet powers along the way to curve bullets, take revenge on his tyrannical boss and his two-faced friends, kill a ton of people, and make out with Angelina Jolie. Awesome flick, don’t miss it.
