Why not?

Rating: 7/10 (5 November 2008)

First of all I want to say that I enjoyed this movie. It is very different from the usual action flick and very, very imaginative (even if some scenes go a bit far in imagination.
Russian director Timur Bekmambetov does quite a good job in the action scenes, and you can notice some of his own style, previously seen on 'Nochnoy Dozor' (Night Watch). He get's to work on a smart and inventive side of the movie and that was the good point of the movie.
We have actors with some good names here, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie and James Mcavoy. I appriceated this last one's performance, as he achieves to deliver a serious character, and run some few gags during the movie, specially in the beginning where the scenes have some humor. Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie were kind of reduced to a secondary role I think, but it is always nice to count with these Academy Award winners and I also wanted to comment on the fact that Angelina Jolie brings up some class, style and of course beauty to this movie.
At last but not least, the plot. I thought it could be well improved in some parts of the movie, because I noticed some holes in the story, but I also enjoyed some elements in the movie that were quite interesting, specially the part, when the screenplay gets the final twist.
Finishing up, 'Wanted' is a fast, vertiginous, action-packed and inventive movie, that really reminded me of 'Shoot 'Em Up' because of it's crazy action. So before watching this movie, just turn off your brain and watch this movie with a different vision of it. That's what I did, and it worked - 7/10.
