Wanted

wanted Wanted was a movie I decided to see for the promise of action, the gorgeous Angelina Jolie and the super cute James McAvoy.  I wasn’t disappointed in any regard.

It’s the story of a white collar guy who leads the most ordinary of existences until the day he ends up in the crosshairs of a super assassin.  He then makes the acquaintance of his estranged father’s supposed murder-machines colleagues who put him in front of a reality that will change his life forever.

The production values of Wanted are so high that the audience is never jolted out of the story and the good acting on the part of the whole cast helps tremendously in achieving such a result.

I was particularly impressed by the subject though, since it felt completely original.  And when that is coupled with great visual effects and stellar action sequences, a great end product is all but guaranteed.
