An average Joe who is barely functional in society - he goes to work, doesn't care about much, and has zero ambition.

Wholly improbable action wrapped up in a frenetically paced, surprisingly humourous package. One of the most satisfying cinema-going experience I've had in a long time. Well worth checking out. |

Really dim film |
|
Wanted, when it boils down to it, is basically a gun fetish movie. Somebody else on here pointed out that it reminded him of Fight Club, but couldn't put his finger on why. Here is why: the main character of Wanted pretty much lifted the narrator of Fight Club and inserted him into a sub-mediocre film about guns.
So the plot is: the narrator from Fight Club (James McAvoy) realises his life sucks just in time for Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman tell him he stems from a long line of assassins who kill people because THE LOOM OF FATE tells them to, and that his life doesn't suck anymore. He undergoes some training where he learns to curve bullets because that's cool or something? Whatever. In any case, he basically gets given a gun and then he feels like an empowered man because he can sh... |

"luke i am your father" |

ok so i liked this movie all the way up until the ending. the special effects were awesome and the action is really good. the story was also really interesting too until they pulled the "star wars cliche" seriously i understand that by putting that in it took the movie to a whole different level but come on ... it was so cheesy! |

Wanted |

Wanted is a Highly Energized and Absolutely Well Done action film. Director Timur Bekmambetov has made a well paced action ride that is entertaining from the very start to the very finish. The talented James Mcavoy is well chosen for the lead, giving a solid seriocomedic performance. He is in good company with Angelina Jolie giving a good and (of course) sexy performance as one of Mcavoys fellow assassins and Morgan Freeman giving a surprising mellow, yet just right performance as the man in charge. The story is good, The screenplay is great, The cast is perfect. The Special Effects are mind-blowing using the same idea of slow motion that The Matrix created but doing it much better. This film is great fun and the good thing is, it doesn't take itself to seriously. |
