From Universal Pictures! Director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch) makes his English-language feature film debut with this big-screen actioner based on Mark Millar's thrilling graphic novel! Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a cube-dwelling hypochondriac whose uneventful life has become a mundane blur of terminal boredom. However, everything changes when Wesley's estranged father is brutally murdered, and the spineless, clock-punching pushover is recruited into the Fraternity — a secret society of super-assassins — by the lovely-yet-lethal Fox (Angelina Jolie) and the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), and trained to avenge his father's death by unlocking his dormant powers and killer instincts. But, soon, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye, and as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wesley comes to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny!
