Rupert Friend stars in the eponymous role of this action thriller
directed by Aleksander Bach. The International Contracts Agency
(ICA), a top secret organisation that works independently of the
U.S. government, has spent millions of dollars developing its own
army of genetically engineered assassins. Known only by the last
two digits of the barcode stamped on the back of his neck, Agent 47
is the best assassin in the business, boasting unrivalled
intelligence, speed and strength. When 47's latest target,
multi-national corporation owner John Smith (Zachary Quinto), gets
wind of his impending fate, Smith tries to penetrate the ICA to
find the secret to their success in creating invincible agents with
a plan of improving on their skills to develop his own army.
My Mommy tells me I'm perfect and to be brave. "You know who you
are," she says, "Just be yourself and always listen to your heart."
With those words of encouragement from her Mom, Phoenix is

when she arrives at school she finds help and support from teachers
and friends, and finds she is brave enough to talk to other kids
about her gender! This is an empowering and brightly-illustrated
children's book for children aged 3+ to help children engage with
gender identity in a fun, uplifting way. It supports trans children
who are worried about being bullied or misunderstood.
Mornin' Bill: About the Book An average guy with an extraordinary
past has been working for several years for an organization the
media has romanticized and chastised at the same time since its
inception. Legendary in the world, and yet a complete mystery to
most, he works for the CIA. He keeps the books for the CIA, not the
entire CIA, of course, just one small part of the operation. His
life has been mostly uneventful since his time spent in the Vietnam
War, a place and deeds he has put far in the back of his mind. One
day, however, that all changes, and it changes because "The
Company" wants it to change. He has no idea that their needs will
bring him into a completely new life as well as provide him the
opportunity to relive his past. If all goes well, he decides to "go
for it," and he is up for the task, his new job at the CIA will be
short-lived, but extremely intense. His new life, if he survives,
will continue when, and if, he returns. He has many moments of
hesitation about the job to be done and about his new life. In
their own way, each impacts him at the very heart of his being,
each one touching places within him, those places he had forgotten
about or had been numbed by the bludgeoning of his soul. He is, in
fact, living life just where he has always liked to be but has not
been for a long time: on the edge.
