Movie Review - Wanted
Before this movie, I really didn’t know this relatively new guy, James McAvoy, a Scottish actor who apparently had been in the first Narnia movie. For the other castmates, sure, who doesn’t know Angelina Jolie? And Morgan Freeman’s great in this flick as well. But it’s this unassuming dude that does so well as the stressed-out account(ing) manager turned cold blooded assassin. The transition was quite believable. From this "geek" of a person with anxiety attacks to an efficient assassin with a special ability that’s quite rare. McAvoy, Jolie and Freeman certainly make for a great cast in this action-packed thriller.
If you thought "Jumper" was an interesting concept (like I did) earlier this 2008 (don’t get me wrong, "Jumper" was decent, but nothing great or it’s a DVD worth collecting), that’ll get blown out of the water with "Wanted," a movie about this group or secret society of assassins that have been in existence for hundreds of years. The curving bullets, the action scenes, the twist of the story, the fast pace, wonderfully done directing…
You just gotta WANT to see this movie (and Angelina’s rear is a bonus for you gents out there). While it holds no philosophical significance nor hand-to-hand combat like say, The Matrix, Wanted’s simply a kick ass action flick that’s enjoyable.
