Angelina Jolie is no stranger to "assassin" roles in movies (remember "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"?), but I think this one is probably the most intense!
Enjoy the movie trailer below, and see if you can solve some of the English dialogue quizzes that follow.

You know how they say: "someday, a girl gonna come alone and change your world forever. You have no idea. Six weeks ago, I was just like you. And then I met her.

Very good, Carloh. Just one small error there:
"Someday, a girl's going to come along..."
The 's is short for "is" and is the necessary "be"-verb with the future term "be going to".
Other than that, all correct. Well done!

And I really really want to watch this movie. It seems fantastic and very active one. As a man, it seems like a dream to me. But thought seeing it, I could be one of them feeling perfectly thrilling.^^

Spot on, Sunghan (though just to be perfect - he says "I thought he'd be taller").
Quiz Question 3:
What does the man say in response? (As in, after Morgan Freeman says "I thought he'd be taller", what does the other man say?)

The main character said, " I really think he had messed up with somebody else."

Actually, he says:
I really think you have me mixed up with somebody else.
This basically means: "I think you have made a mistake and you think I am a certain person, but I am not."
Good try, though - you were very close!
Best,

they are saying one another...
I want you to curve the bullet.
I don't know that means.
Only a few people in the world have this ability and you are the one of them.

And here's a different trailer for the same movie. This one has some more interesting dialogue in it...
Can anyone try to transcribe the dialogues at the start (from Wesley, the main character, and Angelina Jolie's character)? I'll provide corrections to people who try!
Best,

But I will try it though.
This is my numbing black hole kind of job.
This is me, Wesley Gibson.
Nobody.
Like everybody else, I've just kept waiting for ~taking me out of my boring existance and into life mean something.
I knew your father.
My father died a week I was born.
Your father died yesterday in a foof top of ~ building.
He was one of great assasins who ever lived.
The other one is behind you.
This is it. I am looking forward to your correction for me, Jason~^^
