Shooting dudes through another dudes eye socket. Nice!

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2013)

This is a movie created solely for outrageous, yet fantastic action. There's not much of a storyline, so if you're the kind of guy looking for a dramatic story full of romance and drama, then go find another movie. Timur Bekmambetov pulls out all the stops in a high-end, outrageous and i'm pretty sure impossible action movie. From an extreme car chase in a beautiful Dodge Viper, to James McAvoy shooting people through the eye socket of some dude they call the 'Repairman'.
'Wanted' is a movie you can watch when there is nothing to do or if you just feel like watching people get their heads torn apart by bullets and knives. Once again, if you're looking for a good story, then don't even bother with this movie.
James McAvoy is a great actor and he doesn't fail to impress me here. He plays a depressed, barely sane, broke guy who is sick of his obese and really annoying boss at his dead-end job. He portrays the character so well and always in this sarcastic tone at the beginning. His character then changes into a total bad-ass who completely destroys everything without giving a single s**t. Then there's Sloan, portrayed by Morgan Freeman, who is the boss of the group of assassins. Morgan Freeman is amazing as always, playing it cool and not shooting anybody. Angelina Jolie, who is definitely not my favorite actress when it comes to action movies, plays a traumatized, semi-autistic woman who doesn't give a crap about anyone. There wasn't really much to play for her. She sort of just stares awkwardly at everybody.
So overall, it was a good movie and a good way to pass the time. Amazing action sequences mixed with blood, gore and pretty much a slow-motion every time a bullet is fired. Not a girls movie, that's for sure.
