Wanted

Wanted is a 2008 action film which is based on the comic of the same name. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, it stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. It tells the tale of a frustrated office worker's transformation into a superhuman assassin.

Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a frustrated and depressed office worker who works at a dead-end job. He is constantly chewed up by his boss and ignored by his girlfriend, who incidently is sleeping with his best friend. In short Wesley was living a pathetic and pointless life. However, one day his fortunes turn when he meets a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie) who tells him that his father was one of the greatest assassins in the world and that he had been killed the day before. Wesley does not believe this at first, but soon finds himself bieng trained in the organization his father used to work for known as The Fraternity. The Fraternity, headed by a man named Sloan (Morgan Freeman), is an organization which had the responsibility of keeping justice in the world. Wesley's main aim of joining the organization was to kill his father's assassin. However as the movie unfolds Wesley finds out that all is not what it appears to be and that the truth about his father has been completely manipulated and twisted around by none other than Sloan himself!!

Despite all the negative reviews I heard about this movie plus the far-fetched concept of curving bullets, I still genuinley enjoyed watching it. The entire movie is filled with adrenaline pumping action and I have to say that Angelina Jolie was looking bloody amazing. If you are plannig to watch this movie, I suggest you leave your scientific knowledge outside and just sit back and enjoy this crackling thrill ride.
