Warning: Spoilers
The film jumps around in the beginning as I broke out the map and string. A man is assassinated in Progue. His daughter (Anastasia Doaga) survives. We jump to seven years later in Sweden. Assassin Morgan (Henry Golding) the protagonist is lined up ready to kill a sex trafficker when he is shot at. There is a shooting spree. Morgan escapes and witnesses his target being killed by the person trying to kill him. He contacts Caldwell (Sam Neill) his mentor and the guy who gives Morgan assignments. It is clear Caldwell id not being straight. Morgan wants out, but must do six more contracts. There is a total of 7 (or 6) assassins all contracted to kill each other for one million dollars. It seems crazy. Meanwhile there is a police force tracking the kills. It isn't hard to figure out from the opening, and the plot is explained at fifty minutes into the feature, but there are some twists to follow.

Noomi Rapace falls right into character as Falk, one of the assassins. I felt they needed to drop one of the assassins as it made the film too long. Assassins killing assassins has been done before and better, but typically as a revenge film.

Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity.
