That was the wound that ended up killing him.

Answer: Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Mr. and Mrs. Smith was a cleverly executed film about a man named Mr. Smith, who's an assassin, and his wife, who also happens to be an assassin. In the beginning of the movie, it was evident that their marriage was going down the tubes. They were also blissfully unaware of each others 'careers'. One day, both got a contract on each other and that event led to a series of comedic mishaps.

In the end, it was not the money for each other's contracts that was top priority, it was their own love for one another that prevailed.

Answer: Alexander

Angelina Jolie played Alexander's mother, Olympias, and Anthony Hopkins played the narrator of the film, a Greek philosopher named Ptolemy. The movie followed the many battles and actions that were taken during the rule of Alexander. The movie started with Alexander as a child, but slowly built up to a point where one could easily understand the reasons for his actions.

Answer: The Mask of Zorro

"The Mask of Zorro" marked one of the more recent entries into the infamous "Zorro" series. This time around, Zorro, as played by Anthony Hopkins, felt that he was getting far too old to fight injustice like he used to, so he found Alejandro, played by Banderas, drunk at a bar.

His drunkenness was due to his anger towards a captain who killed his brother. Seeing the fire within him, Zorro took him away to his lair where he taught the young man to be just like him. Upon learning the skills needed to be like Zorro, Alejandro embarked on a quest for revenge.

He also fought to liberate unfortunate people who ended up suffering in Don Mantero's gold mines.

With help from a hacker, named Electra, it was Rath's job to either return to his roots as the hunter, or give up and be the hunted.
