Wanted

Wanted, 3 out of 4 stars

Angelina Jolie as Fox, an assassin from Fraternity in "Wanted".

This film is loosely based on the comic book miniseries as the same name by Mark Millar and it is directed by a Russian film director, Timur Bekmambetov. This film stars James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman. The film begins with some brutal shootout which is some audiences will think it is ridiculous. Then the film focus on a guy named Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) who is an accounts manager work in a firm and he always bullied by his boss. Then his life change in a sudden after he meet Fox (Angelina Jolie) who save him before he was killed by an assassin named Cross. Wesley has been told that Cross has killed his father and want him to join the assassin group known as Fraternity. Before become an assassin, he was been trained brutally so that he will become a killing machine. After completed the training, he has to complete a few mission which is killing people. Before he's on the way to kill Cross, he realize that everything is not going the way he expected and he's going to find out who's the one who set him up. First of all, the story of this film is good, it has explain the history of the assassin group in the beginning. Other than that, it has a plot twists at the second half of the movie. Besides story, the action sequences is awesome, the only thing I can say is "Woow". Before you're going to watch this movie, you have to put your logical thinking at your home first, then only you can go watch it. It has a lot of stylish action which is impossible to do it in reality and when you watch it you'll just say "Woow" in every action sequences appear in this film. Besides that, there will be a lot of blood and gore in every action sequences, it is too great until we do not care about the story telling and keep on waiting for the action. This film also sometimes funny and sometimes dumb of course in a good way. I think it is really fun and it makes the audiences feel like the adrenalin is really pumping through their vein. This film also used a lot of jaws dropping CGI effects and it used a lot of stunt work too (I think so) and this is the elements which gives this movie a lot of kinetic energy. Besides action sequences, the acting is fine especially James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie, but I'm quite admire the acting delivered by Morgan Freeman. Overall, a great action thriller which delivered a lot of stylish action, kinetic energy and violent. Stylistically cool!!
