An especially kinetic montage introduces these inscrutable, dark-suited assassins as they rapidly dispatch their targets with a merciless efficiency.

Submerged into the turbulent murder vortex from whence these programmable devils were spawned, our resolute hero's espionage skills are sorely tested!
