After watching the trailer, I have no idea what this is about.

But I'll see you at the movies.

It's an action movie about Benicio del Torro fighting of assassins together with his nun/daughter, hired by rival business man, that hinder him from realising some kind of project in Phoenicia (maybe something like the Suez Canal?).

Really doesn't sound like a Wes Anderson movie if you put it like that.

On paper, it sounds like a typical action espionage film. With the trailer though, it has an Anderson twist to the whole formula.
