Rating: 7/10 (12 July 2008)

Wanted centers around Wesley Gibson, a complete and total loser who one day discovers that his father was a notorious assassin and that he must follow in his footsteps in order to track down his killer.
Wanted is the type of movie that you can only enjoy if you completely forget about the concepts of reality and physics. It is completely over the top and unrealistic but it is also extremely entertaining. If you can get over that then you will enjoy this movie a lot. The action sequences were incredible and will leave you on the edge of your seat. The plot however does contain a few clichés and predictable twists, and some of the drama does also come off as a bit cheesy, normally this would make me give it a lower rating if it weren't for the sheer awesomeness of the action scenes. The acting was overall pretty solid. Nothing exceptional but pretty good.
Overall wanted succeeded in being very entertaining and although the plot contained a few holes and clichés it was pretty solid. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys action movies. However a note to parents; Wanted is very violent and packed with swearing. I would not recommend it to younger kids.
