Wanted

Wanted (2008)

Cast: Impressive casting done by the p'cers and d'tor(s)...

          James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie etc...

Genre: Action/Thriller

Synopsis:

         The movie is based on a historic (fictional) theme of Ancient Weavers forming a clan of Assassins. It starts off in a rush where one person is killed by another after being setup and is shot dead from behind by a person who is miles away sitting at his home. James McAvoy (Wesley) is a simple and slow accounts manager who hates his life and suffers from anxiety strokes. He seems to rely on medication every time he has a panic attack.

         Morgan Freeman (Sloan) saves his from being killed in the initial scenes of the movie and takes him back and trains him after making him to believe that he is a lot more than he thinks... what happens after being trained is the best part of the movie. The movie has amazing action sequences and heart pumping imaginative work by the CG people. Although some scenes seem too unrealistic, they are nevertheless fun to watch, which is what we go to the cinemas anyway.

         I'd gladly give this movie 7/10

Goods:

- casting is amazing especially A. Jolie scorching the screen,

- action sequences and dialogues pretty well spun/weaved,

Bads:

- unrealistic action sequences although heart pumping,

- theme seems kinda funny to think Weavers becoming assassins,

P.S. - Must watch for every jobless soul on the planet and also for those who love action sequences and adrenalin rushes... loads of scenes where the camera catches events that only light can pick up... if U know what I mean...
