Description: Blake, an assassin, aims to eliminate Gunther, the world’s most infamous hitman. To document the mission, he brings in a camera crew for evidence. He forms a team that includes his friend Donnie, an explosives specialist; Sanaa, daughter of the renowned hitman Rahmat Fairouza; Gabe, a novice tech enthusiast; and Ashley, Blake’s elderly mentor, who suffers a heart attack.
Later, Blake enlists additional assassins: Izzat, a former extremist with a powerful robotic arm; Yong, a poison specialist; the deranged twins Mia and Barold Bellakalakova; and Max, Blake’s former partner. The group meets in a warehouse, but Gunther kills Max with a sniper rifle before he can reveal Gunther’s location.
Blake’s motivation stems from his ex, Lisa, who left him for Gunther, though their relationship didn’t last. Ashley suffers another heart attack shortly after leaving the hospital. The team stages a fake hit in Miami to lure Gunther out and visits Cheyenne, a gun dealer. When Gunther kills their target, the team pursues him. Gunther kills Izzat using his own robotic arm, but Sanaa manages to injure Gunther before he escapes.
Yong guides the team to an underground doctor’s office where Gunther is being treated. Donnie plants a bomb in Gunther’s car, but it fails to explode as Gunther has rigged the entire street with traps. Discovering the car’s trunk is filled with venomous snakes, Yong is killed when one bites his neck. Another car arrives to pick up Gunther, but Sanaa opens fire, causing it to crash. Finding both occupants dead, the team celebrates at a bar. Blake sleeps with the bartender, while Sanaa and Donnie spend the night together.
