The Asset

In 1987, in Vietnam, Anna's (Maggie Q) life changes completely. She meets Moody (Samuel L. Jackson), a professional assassin who finds himself in the middle of a mission and takes her under his wing, acting as a mentor and father figure to her. Thirty years later, they travel together to Romania to take out a drug dealer. When they finish, as they always do, they live completely separate lives. Anna goes to London, where she runs a bookshop, and Moody to his country house. During the celebration of his 70th birthday, the mercenary tells his protégé that he is dying. As a parting gift, he puts the bookshop in her name and only asks her in return to find Lucas Hayes. Just after that, both Moody and his trusted hacker turn up dead and Anna is attacked in her shop. All the dots point to the mysterious Hayes. So she teams up with a rich man called Rembrandt (Michael Keaton), to avenge her friend and discover what happened.

The director is Martin Campbell, author of 'Green Lantern' and 'Mask of Zorro'. In addition to Maggie Q, Jackson and Keaton, the cast also includes David Rintoul ('The Crown'), Patrick Malahide ('Game of Thrones'), Robert Patrick ('Terminator 2: The Last Judgement') , Ori Pfeffer ('The Hitman's Bodyguard'), and Ray Fearon ('Da Vinci's Demons').
