The best action movie in years.

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2008)

WOW, This is a movie I won't soon forget, it's like the film is planted in the back of my brain where it would never get out, the film from beginning to the very last word is just delicious and you find yourself asking for more when it's over just like a delicious meal you just ate but didn't have enough of. The best slow motion effects since The Matrix and the most profane characters since The Departed were shown in Wanted. And not to forget the most amount of violence every action fanatic would ask for. As far as the story goes, Wanted is a tale of a guy named Wesley Gibson who works as an accounts manager and basically lets others stab him in the back and treat him like crap. But soon he realizes that he is destined to succeed his father who was a specially skilled assassin and worked with other assassins who call themselves as 'The Fraternity'. As revelations are gradually made Wesley finds out who his real enemies are and why he got tangled up in his so called destiny in the first place.
James McAvoy plays Wesley Gibson, and I couldn't have asked for a better performance. He was phenomenal. I always enjoy his performances, whether he plays a physician for a notorious tyrant in The Last King of Scotland, or he plays half a human and half a something else as Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia. In Wanted, there is no difference, he is flawless at every angle and he does some awesome things in the film, from curving bullets to shooting people from a mile or two or even more away or even shooting the wings off of tiny flies. Nevertheless he had some serious actors with him who got their shares of bullet curving. Jolie who plays Fox and Freeman who plays Sloan, Both astonishing, as always. Amazing chemistry throughout the movie and the actors were just awesome.
I would suggest a sequel for this piece of art. It was brilliant and has a plot twist that turned the whole film around, though a bit unrealistic, yet again really cool special effects, and did teach a little lesson about how we shouldn't let others step all over us, and even if a sequel doesn't come out, this will be a movie, as I already said, that won't be soon forgotten.
