Wanted is a good movie

Rating: 10/10 (23 October 2008)

When his father dies, Wesley Allan Gibson (James McAvoy) comes to find out that his father was a member of an elite group of assassins called The Fraternity. He is recruited by Sloan (Morgan Freeman) and trained by Fox (Angelina Jolie), The Repairman (Marc Warren), The Butcher (Dito Bakhtadze), and Gunsmith (Common) to assassinate his fathers killer, Cross, who was once a member of the Fraternity but he betrayed them. Throughout the movie, Wesley's personality and attitude change and so do his abilities.
Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, Wanted is slow at the beginning and you have to kind of follow the plot very closely, but it is a good movie in the end. There are a lot of unexpected twists and the casting was great. There is great chemistry between all of the cast members on camera. The scene where Wesley and Fox are racing for the flags that are on top of the train was very good stunt work. I would highly recommend this movie for anyone who likes action movies with a tint of comedy.
