This movie is OK.

Rating: 3/10 (30 April 2011)

Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is working in a job that he hates as an account manager when Fox (Angelina Jolie) explains to Wesley that his father that left him at 7 days old has been murdered. Fox rescues Wesley from the man that shot his father and then he is asked to kill the assassin because no one else is capable. Sloan (Morgan Freeman) heads the Fraternity of the Assassins and trains Wesley to be an assassin. Wesley comes to find out that Cross, the man that killed Wesley's father, is really his father and has been trying to save his son's life from the real bad guy, Sloan.
The theme of this film, as it is stated in the last line, is what have you done lately in your life. In six weeks, Wesley trained and became an assassin. He was nearly beat to death on several occasions, or cut with knives while learning to fight. Wax baths would heal all wounds to prepare for the next step of training.
The filmmakers of Wanted used slow motion technique throughout the film. Slow motion suggested superhuman speed and power of the assassins. The slow motion technique is mostly used while Jolie and McAvoy are acting.
The sound of Wesley's heartbeat was enhanced. In the beginning of the film, Wesley's heart was racing and he would have anxiety attacks. Then he was told why his heart raced and how he needed to learn to control it to be a great assassin. The purpose of emphasis was to show his superhuman powers that he was given and how he had learned to slow his heart rate down when it would go out of control.
There are some unrealistic components of the film such as rolling cars over other cars and landing perfect to keep moving, curved bullets, living through a train car crashing in a gorge of water from several thousand feet, a loom deciding fate with who is to be killed next, shooting the wings off of flies and then finding them in a trash can. If you are into superhuman action movies that star Jolie, then this is the movie for you.
