Apprentice (1999)

Tye Cameron is leading a dead-end, solitary life, with his only escape being his martial arts training and gambling habit. But all this changes when he crosses paths with Benjamin, the leader of an international assassination group. Enticed by an offer to join and help rid the streets of crime vigilante-style, Tye takes a step into this dark world of murder, money, and deceit. All Tye wants is to be part of something and do his part to cleanse the city of its slime, but he soon discovers there is more to his new profession than meets the eye. Confronted with a corrupt police force, vicious, cold-blooded hitmen, and a crusading cop looking for the truth, Tye must decide which side he's on, and how he will survive the escalating danger and violence.
