Wanted is a Killer of a Movie
Wanted stars Angelina Jolie, James, McAvoy, and Morgan Freeman. The direction was by Timur Bekmambetov who is a Russian director. Incredible shots were made throughout the film. Great dialogue and acting. I was very impressed with the movie and its full package. The only complaint I have is the amount of close up shots of people having their head blown off. It was like some of the video games I see nowadays. Very hard for me to look at and typically I turn away as I see the bullet about to penetrate the person’s head.
Wanted is full of action and sometimes silly action scenes but still very exciting to watch. Great car chases and fight scenes. This is definitely an action packed thriller of a movie. The lead actor, James portrays a wimpy office worker who is unable to confront his boss about her constant beligerant badgering along with avoiding confrontation with his best friend who is having sex with his live in girlfriend. He becomes a hero in his own mind as he develops the courage to face all of the people that have caused him problems throughout the past couple of years. He becomes trained to be an assassin just like his father who he is told died in one of his assignments.
If you want to see a film that will keep you at the end of your seat throughout then check out Wanted. I don’t know why it didn’t stay in theatres longer but it certainly should become a dvd favorite.
