Plot: Night Watch director Timur Bekmambetov helms his first English-language feature film with this big-screen adaptation of Mark Millar's action-packed graphic novel. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a cube-dwelling hypochondriac whose uneventful life has become a mundane blur of terminal boredom. Repeatedly humiliated by his boss and constantly cuckolded by his cheating girlfriend, weakling Wes seems to be living right down to everyone's expectations that he would never amount to anything in life. However, upon discovering that the father he never knew has been brutally murdered, the spineless, clock-punching pushover is recruited into a secret society of assassins known as the Fraternity. During the course of his training, the man who was once an office-bound wimp develops lightning-fast reflexes and superhuman dexterity courtesy of his skilled mentor Fox (Angelina Jolie). Upon completing his training, Wes is assigned the task of dealing out death to the mythological Fates, who possess the ability to alter the lifelines of mortal men. It isn't long before the nebbish nerd-turned-agile assassin is erasing the bad guys with surprising efficiency, yet as Wes begins to carry the mantle passed down to him by his father, he gradually begins to suspect that his wise tutors are not the crime-fighting enforcers they present themselves to be. Now, with everything he ever wanted in life finally within his grasp, Wes is about to find out that the only thing more difficult than ending the lives of others is summoning the courage to take control of his own. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

GOOD ESCAPISM ACTION FLICK!!!!!!
Added 11/15/2009

This was a good action flick, to escape one out of dulls fill boredom. Special effects were awesome and people should be generous at giving no less then three stars just for the effort of some who created the special effects. Some people are so darn jealous, and nobody's that they just can't stand seeing somebody else doing what they wish they could do but never will. I hate people who give movies a one or two star rating. Some movies deserve a no star rating, but, these are low budget movies, nobody actors, total lousy acting, and the movie looks like it was made in my backyard. So the next person that gives this movie below a three star rating,I will be commenting DUDE ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!!!

ENORMOUS WASTE OF MONEY
Added 11/14/2009

If brain-dead characters, awful narration, predictable plot points, and really, REALLY bad writing add up to your idea of a good film, then waste no time in renting "Wanted."

On the other hand, if you want to see an intelligent, well-made film that's based on a graphic novel, try "Watchmen," "Road to Perdition,"Sin City," or "Ghost World."

Jolie, Freeman, and McAvoy should have their acting licenses revoked for signing onto this repulsive dreck.

From Wanted to Being Energised
Added 10/17/2009

EMPIRE made the comment, "Jolie has never been sexier". From the opening scene to the final, few minutes, WANTED is a white-knuckle ride with bending bullets, a car chase that 'll blow your mind, and one of the most spectacular train crash/fight scenes ever put on film. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a cube-dwelling hypochondriac, with a humiliating boss and a cheating girlfiend. His life is going nowhere! Wes discovers that his estranged father has been brutally murdered-and finds himself thrust into joining a secret society of assassins, called the Fraternity. During his training, at the hands of a skilled mentor called (Fox), this once office-bound wimp develops lightning-fast reflexes and superhuman dexterity. But, with his first assignment, Wes finds out that the only thing more difficult than ending the lives of others is summoning the courage to take control of his own.

Horrible
Added 10/14/2009

This movie was horrible. Bad Acting and a stupid plot make for a horrible movie. Jolie should find a new line of work since she is not very good at her current profession. Save your money and most importantly save your time.
