Default Wanted (2008) review

For this movie, I really don’t know where to start. I’ve just seen it and I have to admit that I’m simply dazzled. Wanted is the kind of movie that simply blows your mind away, and, if you ask me, it’s going to be one of this summer’s blockbusters. So, let’s take this movie piece by piece.

The plot is intricate, and the characters develop throughout the movie. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is an accounts manager who works all day long in a cubical, has no self respect, whose girlfriend cheats on him, in other words, a man who doesn’t have a life. One day, Fox (Angelina Jolie) changes his life, telling him that his father was an assassin who was murdered, and that now he has to avenge his father. Wesley is trained and becomes a professional assassin, but he later finds out that he was actually tricked into killing his own father. The man behind this is the Fraternity’s leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman). Finally, Wesley will take his revenge on Sloan.

Now, let’s analyze the pro’s and con’s. The pro’s: the action is absolutely great and keeps you glued to your seat, and your heart races to see the next scene. The special effects are absolutely awesome, and the stunts which are pulled are absolutely mind blowing. James McAvoy’s performance is absolutely great, he evolves from an ordinary man to a professional assassin right under the viewer’s eyes. The storyline is intriguing and I have to say that I didn’t get the chance to get bored, which happens with lots of the movies which are made nowadays.

The con’s: well, uhm…. this is kind of difficult. I can say that the characters of Sloan (Morgan Freeman) and Fox (Angelina Jolie) were a bit underdeveloped, but that’s understandable because otherwise the movie would have lasted too long. Concerning the special effects, I have to admit that certain things to be way out there and impossible, but to my mind they just give spice to the movie and make it amazing.

To conclude, if you like action movies, with special effects, great fighting scenes and lots of adrenaline, then Wanted is the movie for you. As far as I’m concerned, this movie just made my day.

My rating: 10/10
