A 14 Year Old Boy's Wet Dream

Rating: 6/10 (5 July 2008)

"Wanted" is basically a sex/violence fantasy for adolescent boys. A nerdy cubicle worker is recruited by ultra sexy Angelina Jolie and becomes a super assassin.
Thankfully, this film is saved by doses of humor that make the predictable plot and thin story bearable.
James McAvoy is surprisingly good, speaking with a perfect American accent. Angelina is scary sexy as the femme fatale assassin recruiter. Morgan Freeman practically sleepwalks through his role, but is still enjoyable.
The story is completely ridiculous. One of the main plot points involves binary code weaved into textiles. Another thing that happens is during shootouts, they prevent themselves from being shot by shooting the bullet that is coming towards them.
If you like seeing slow motion close-ups of people being shot in the head, then "Wanted" is the movie for you.
