Wanted is a cool, action movie that is kick-butt from start to finish

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2008)

Before seeing Wanted on DVD I though "Well this might not be a good movie". Boy was I wrong. Wanted was a pretty cool movie and the action sequences were shot in slow motion so that you can actually see every detail of gore in the kills. If you are looking for hard R material, pedal to the medal action then Wanted has it.
Wanted is about a man named Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) who's life has gone down the toilet. He has a mean boss, his girlfriend is sleeping with his best friend, and he swallows pills like candy. Then Fox (Angelina Jolie) meets Wesley Gibson at a store and invites Wesley to come join her and Sloan (Morgan Freeman) to the Fraternity which was where a league of assassins would work. His father was also the greatest assassins who ever lived.
Now Wanted does start out a little slow. But that's okay because after the first 10 or 15 minutes it's non-stop fast paced action. After that in the middle of the movie it actually gets better and by the time the movies done it turned out great. A lot of people are hating on Wanted was because of the ending. So what every ending has to be good? Another thing. They say it takes itself too seriously. It's just a movie. What were they expecting? The dark knight or something? Give me a break.
Every action sequence in Wanted is shot very unique. For example in one scene Wesley someone with a keyboard and the letters spell out 'FU'. Every single time someone shoots by curving the bullet the sometimes have names on the bullet like 'Goodbye'. I thought that was really cool. Just how they take the action sequences in slow motion was just amazing.
Overall I think Wanted is a cool, action movie that is kick-butt from start to finish. It delivers everything a fan could want. You see a bare back shot of Angelina Jolie with her tattoos, Morgan Freeman drops f bombs which never happens, and very cool action sequences.
