Wanted [Blu-ray][Region Free]

Enjoyed the fulm

Many action movies, comic books and geek-appeal TV shows are fantasies of empowerment. Protagonists from Luke Skywalker through Peter Parker and Harry Potter are mistaken for dullards by everyone in their lives. They are whisked out of their ruts by magical mentors, who induct them into secret universes where they inherit a legacy of heroism (along with an arch-enemy or two), can take their pick of the cool toys (mostly fast vehicles and big weapons) and get to marry (or at least cop-off with) the princess or prince of their choice. Wanted fits that template treading a tricky path between `with great power comes great responsibility' and `absolute power corrupts absolutely'.Here, a whiny loser gets access to sports cars, guns that shoot round corners and a tattooed Angelina Jolie, and takes his place in a battle between good and evil without necessarily caring about the body count. Our hero, Wesley (James McAvoy), endures arduous training which brings out his latent near-superhuman abilities, and executes his first missions.The director, Timur Bekmambetov, obviously has a lot of fun with a sizable budget, we get fights, chases, crashes, murders and assaults involving flipped-over sports cars, speeding trains, skyscrapers, and a castle. Bekmambetov understands pacing and escalation, scenes build in intensity, and each sequence is filled with inventive gags or gimmicks, like the broken letters that spell out a to the point resignation message when Wesley breaks his keyboard on the face of the best friend who is sleeping with his girlfriend. A great thing about Wanted is it doesn't seem interested in trying to appeal to the masses by getting a 12A certificate, so it can deliver the gruesome payoffs to its fights.McAvoy, boyish charming and occasionally scary, carries off a tricky role, growing the hero's character to match his bullet-curving and knife-fighting skills, and proves he can hold his own on the big screen. A slender Angelina Jolie is insidiously attractive as the world's greatest (and, apparently, most limber) hit lady: I have never seen her more charismatic on screen - or bent into such odd positions.In a time where even the good action films have been predictable, Wanted offers more than enough twists, turns and surprises to fool viewers who think they know what's going to happen. Wanted is fun, funny and packed with more action than you can shake an AK-47 at. Recommended.

Ever since the trailer was first shown, i've been greatly looking forward to Wanted and I wasn't dissapointed! Wanted is a truly fantastic film thanks to a wonderful cast, brilliant effects and a great plot.The story revolves around an ancient society know as the 'Fraternity of Assassins' who kill those Fate itself has chosen. However when Cross, one of the most elite Fraternity members, turns rogue and begins to kill off other members in the society, the only hope they have lies in the hands of a Wesley (James McAvoy), a young, neurotic, self belittling accounts manger. It's now up to Fox (Angelina Jolie), another elite assassin to train Wesley in the ways of the Fraternity so he can kill Cross before it's too late and balace of life and death is thrown into chaos.Wanted is a fast paced, amazing action thriller that in my opinion can't come quick enough to DVD - I couldn't have Wanted more!!

Too much SFX not enough plot - the bending bullets and car acrobatics just got boringThough a couple of scenes, particularly the keyboard one, raised my rating to mediocre

Really gripping. Unusual mythelogical/historic ideas of a secret society brought forward to play out its role in our modern day. Played out in highly detailed SloMo, the Fraternity are a "hidden in plain sight" organisation, eliminating those who will destabalise the general equalibrium of day-to-day life and the overarching power struggles within our society.An assassin's right of passage mixed with major and minor twists and a bunch of who can outdo the other the best. Its fast paced, and very entertaining. 18 rated. Some poorly thoughtout undercurrents that drive the whole story. But overall a good detatched from reality shoot'em up.

Very, good film
