QUICK TAKE:
Action: After being set up by her handlers, a covert operative seeks out revenge on those who've wronged her.
PLOT:
In an upstate New York diner, Mallory Kane (GINA CARANO) isn't happy to see the arrival of Aaron (CHANNING TATUM), her former business partner and lover. And that's because he's there to take her back to their handler, Kenneth (EWAN McGREGOR), something she isn't keen to. Accordingly, when he suddenly attacks her, she uses her physical skills -- and a little assistance from shocked bystander Scott (MICHAEL ANGARANO) -- to defeat Aaron and flee the scene.

Traveling in Scott's car, she then relates her tale to him. A former Marine turned highly trained operative for hire, she worked for private contractor Kenneth who had a business arrangement with a U.S. government official, Coblenz (MICHAEL DOUGLAS) in conjunction with a nebulous figure, Rodrigo (ANTONIO BANDERAS). After rescuing a hostage with Aaron and others, she was assigned to work with Paul (MICHAEL FASSBENDER), but quickly learned that her decision to leave Kenneth had it repercussions.

Now back in the States, she wants revenge on those who wronged her. With the help of Scott as well as her ex-Marine turned novelist father John (BILL PAXTON), she sets out to do just that.
