Wanted

Written by Jonathan Jacobs

As action heroes go, James McAvoy may not be someone that you would expect as a gun toting killer, but sometimes the unexpected is what creates brilliance. Wanted is the story of lovable loser Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy). He is stuck inside of a dead end job locked away all day in his tiny cubicle. He is forced to deal with an overbearing boss (Lorna Scott) and a girlfriend who disrespects him in every way possible (including constantly having sex with Wesley’s best friend, Barry (Chris Pratt)), behind his back. Fending off daily panic attacks with a lifetime refillable pill prescription, Wesley is headed nowhere and fast. Enter Fox (Angelina Jolie) with a proposition that may just skyrocket young Wesley far away from the boring life he’s used to…

Fox, it turns out, has been sent by the mysterious Sloan (Morgan Freeman) as a representative of a secret society of assassins known as the fraternity and is looking to recruit Wesley and/or save him from the man that’s making attempts on his life. It turns out that unbeknownst to him, Wesley’s father was one of the greatest assassins ever to live and has recently been cut down in the line of duty. It now falls to Wesley to track down and assassinate his father’s killer, a rogue named Cross (Thomas Kretschmann). After initial hesitation, Wesley agrees to join the "fraternity" of assassins and begins a rigorous training regimen.

Let me just say that for my money, this movie had it all. Amazing action abounds. The weapon work here may have seemed a bit unrealistic, but it kept viewers engaged and teetering on their seats edge. The acting was quite nice as well. I didn’t expect much from James McAvoy as a gun wielding assassin, but the role he played was so much more and in my humblest of opinions he played it well. Some of the lines were cheesy and some of the stunts were atrocious in the fact that in real life they would never be possible, but that’s the joy of modern cinema and one of many reasons we go to the movies.

Angelina Jolie is hot. There are not many valid reasons that would do well to debunk this common truth. Her body is nearly impeccable. Her eyes pierce through your very soul like an amazingly sharp tipped dagger of wonder and joy. The way she moves and presents herself and speaks her lines with such seduction in her voice is reason enough for any warm blooded American male to salivate their way through anything she might be involved in. Here she shoots the guns with seeming skill and amazing ease, drives the cars like a street racing ace, and even appears nude in an amazing bathing scene. She may just be reason enough (for some) to give this flick a try.

Action. Oh my goodness action! This film has some action sequences that would impress even the staunchest of action critics. The car chase scenes are amazing (McAvoy gets past bullet proof windows by flipping his car over the top of a limo and shooting through the open sunroof). The fight scenes are nearly unequaled. I mean come on, the characters in this film can "bend" bullets for Petes sake!! The action scenes are a major draw to this film and even if the story line annoys you, the action cannot be denied.

This is definitely a must see summer film. The story line could be stronger, but the acting and the action support its weaknesses well enough to make it work. I beg of you to give this beauty a chance. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
