Ford or the best German automotive experts. But the kicker - all of this is accomplished by honing in on inner talents, genetic traits if you will, training to excess and leading mind and body to new dimensions, all under the guiding hand of a man named Sloan and the secret group of assassin called "The Fraternity." And Wesley is heir-apparent to the best of them all - his father.

Founded centuries ago by a group of weavers, the Fraternity believes there is a divine purpose to all aspects of life and it is their sworn duty to insure that life proceeds as Fate would have it go. And for the purposes of Fraternity, Fate is determined by codings interwoven into fabrics woven on a special loom "from above" which has guided the brethren all these hundreds of years.

He nary breaks a sweat as he assigns each Fraternity member their daily task - kill the person identified by Fate on the loom. And now, he needs Wesley. He wants Wesley in the fold. (Why Sloan wants him so desperately is for you to see for yourself.) And with no life of any consequence, and a chance to avenge his father's death, Wesley comes under the care, guidance and training of Fox as she unlocks the powers within him that have been dormant all these years.

(Look for a few scenes where she appears to be channeling Brad Pitt's "Rusty" from the "Oceans" trilogy and you'll know what I mean.) Her timing is impeccable. Her facial expressiveness speaks volumes. She is action star personified. According to Bekmambetov, "there is nothing she can't do." During the most exhilarating action sequences, Jolie has stated she had one thought. "'God this is fun! Really fun.' I just had to try to
