Rescued as small children by the mythical assassin Moody( Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family business, Anna( Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer. But when Moody – the man who was like a father to her and coached her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is brutally killed, Anna swears revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic executioner( Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her croaks course beyond cat and rat, their dissension turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves even tighter.

Directed by Martin Campbell and written by Richard Wenk, the movie is produced by Arthur Sarkissian, Moshe Diamant, Rob Van Norden, Yariv Lerner, and ChrisMilburn.

Lionsgate and Millennium Media present a Millennium Media/ Fourteen Films/ IRoad production, in partnerships with Campbell Grobman Films/ IngeniousMedia. The movie opens in theaters on August 20, 2021.
