Wanted is different but every bit as good as the comic book!

Rating: 9/10 (23 August 2008)

Wow, I was not expecting to like this movies at all because it was so different than the source material (they were actual super villains in the comics). But it was really good. James McAvoy was a good lead, and you can't miss will Angelina and Freeman. The action was really clean and quick with slick special effects.
The story follows a dead beat, loser who has a crap life and nothing is going for him. He is recruited into a league of assassins after his father ,who was part of the league, was assassinated. They train him as he has potential to be as good as his father and they need someone skilled enough to catch his father's murderer.
I don't know how some message board people criticize movies for having a bad premise when it is based on a book or graphic novel. That's just kinda ignorant.
Anyhow excellent flick, be ready for some twists!
