The Protégé
Skilled contract killer Anna must hunt down her mentor’s murderer and outwit a seductive rival assassin before their deadly cat‑and‑mouse game destroys everything she’s built.
“Made for vengeance.”
Synopsis
Anna was rescued as a child by assassin Moody, who trained her in his family's business, making her the world's most skilled contract killer. After Moody, who had acted as a father figure and taught her about trust and survival, is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. She becomes involved with an enigmatic killer whose attraction to her extends beyond a cat‑and‑mouse dynamic; their confrontation turns deadly, and the unresolved aspects of her life as a killer become increasingly intertwined.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
