Not too bad... for an action movie

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2008)

2008 sees a long list of action packed movies on the big screen. Although WANTED isn't as big a picture as Iron Man or The Dark Knight it certainly is worth watching.
Even though most action movies are labeled as guy movies, as a girl I certainly enjoyed this adrenalin filled rush.
Watching Wesley transform from a mild mannered and almost pathetic office worker to a confident (and perhaps cocky) assassin, is the perfect thing for a quiet Friday night.
Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman also hold their own in this one.
Timur Bekmambetov who was responsible for the fantastic Russian Vampire movies, Day Watch & Night Watch certainly put his stamp on the movie. His trademark slow-mo and almost surreal action sequence shots puts WANTED into a class of it's own.
