Wanted

October 12, 2008

by: Chienalee Garcia

Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Terence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann

“You know when you have a dream, and you’re half awake but still you’re in the fringe of your brain then you open your eyes and you’re so damn glad that it was a dream? This was nothing like that.”

That was what Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) thought when a gun dropped from his trouser pocket the morning after an action scene with a gorgeous gun-crazy woman saving him from another gun-crazy man.

Jump back to the start of everything. Wesley is an office drone who suffers from anxiety attacks from his awful boss. His hot girlfriend cheats on him with his best friend and he’s too scared to do anything about it. Then one night, he bumps into the beautiful and aptly named Fox (Angelina Jolie) at a pharmacy while purchasing pills for his panic attacks. His life will never be the same again.

Fox brings Wesley to the guild’s headquarters where Sloan (Morgan Freeman), the leader of the fraternity, tells him all about his real identity. Who knew that a loser had assassin DNA in his blood? The guild then sends him to some sort of assassin boot camp under the tutelage of Fox and the Gunsmith. They train him to kill Cross (Thomas Kretschmann), the man who killed his father.

Based on the six issue comic book miniseries by Mark Millar, Wanted is a dark superhero movie in which the good guys do more killing than the bad. The “heroes” of the film are assassins, members of a guild known as The Fraternity, whose motto is, “Kill one—save a thousand.”

The film is a typical from-zero-to-hero kind of movie but it paid off with the exciting and tense action sequences. It maybe a bit unrealistic, what with the curving bullets and unimaginable and bloody, violent scenes, but the action itself is fun, plus the twists in the end are definitely unexpected and leave you hanging on for more.
