Internet Movie Database says the film is about a young man who finds out his long lost father is an assassin. When his father is murdered, “the son is recruited into his father’s old organization and trained by a man named Sloan (played by Morgan Freeman) to follow in his dad’s footsteps.” The film shot in the north Loop last year. |
