Wanted -A Movie Review-


Wanted is a big budget, high concept, well-planned but not so well written way better than average reworking of the Matrix, but sexier and quicker. 
Does that do it for you? 
How about the fact that Angelina Jolie is sexier than since her animated version in Beowulf? Not enough?
How about that the action sequences are funner than your best shoot-em-up fantasy times ten?! 
Still?!
How about the fact that it doesn't stop from beginning to end and if you need to stay up cos you have, like, a test tomorrow or a really big presentation and you need something more than Redbull to keep you awake all you have to do is rent Wanted and you'll be wide-a-fucking wake till the cows come home!
It's just good action!
Here's the Poop:
James McAvoy is a douchey accountant who one day realizes he's the descendant of an ancient line of assassins. Angelina tutors him in the ways of action-film killing and he excels! Yay! Until his life is on the line, and he has to put all his doubts behind him and fight for his life!!!!! Can he live up to his destiny? Oooooh! Let's watch!

The action sequences are so totally kick-ass! The fights rock! Angelina is sexier than she's ever been, and in the third act even James McAvoy reveals an incredible body! That aside, the performances are really good! Thats what saves this script-thin movie. Anyone who loved the Matrix will draw some comparisons but this movie stands alone in it's ability to deliver! It borrows but it pony's up the dough. What the fuck do I mean by that? Um... I guess Wanted asks for an Action Movie loan and the Matrix co-signed... 
Anyway, see Wanted! Despite the fact that I feel like I haven't heard much about it it got great critical reviews and made a shitload of money! 

Rottentomatoes.com places it at 73%. Not bloody bad!
See Wanted on DVD December 2!
