well i didn't wanted this way.


seriously now and day, comic based movies are not always superheros, ye know man in thigh, saving the world. Cause there's, another entertainment call graphic novels. From road to perdition to a history of violence, they are taking Hollywood, with great originality, in story telling. From great novels master, Alan Moore, to Neil Gaiman. Now there's one that follow the style just the 20% while the rest is pure adrenaline action, this is Wanted, and this is my review:
Pay close attention cause their will be some geek fact.
Wesley Gibson(James McAvoy) is your average guy, with stuck up job as accountant, in a infernal of cubicle, with a best friend that is doing her girlfriend, and with that comes anxiety attack. Life is beautiful, until he meet in a market The Fox(Angeline jolie) that tell him about the death of he's father Mr.x(David O'Hara), where he's recruited to a secret society of assassins, that have exited, since time itself calling themselves the fraternity. Now Wesley begins to truly take control of hes life when he discover hes inheritances, that make him give the f word to everything everybody that was he's life, from confessing the true life to her boss, to hitting with a keyboard he's former BF. To join this society Wesley have to endurance, straight hit to the face, knife fighting with a butcher, to even jumping over bridges, while running on the roof of a subway. But the best come when he got to curve the bullet. Following the sheet fabric that call the loom of faith that reveal to them by binary number, the names of the people that must die by their bullets. Is go time for Wesley, but when they need him the most to hunt down a rogue assassin, that's killing them one by one. Wesley better get he's gun clean up to hunt him down. But something goes wrong, when a mistake is made, will Wesley avenge he's father death? What secrets is the fraternity hiding? he's already Wanted.
Ok geek fact here, in the graphic novel, most of the characters ain't assassins , but supervillains, that already have control of the wold, and ain't form by just one fraternity, but four. From the star of the film goes faithful, but until we see Jolie, well it turn. The story does follow some element from which is base on. but loose track of the meaning of what the story is truly about.
The acting of Mc avoy is top notch he very well be Zack from save by the bell, from he's anxiety attack to he's dirty harry attitude, this guy is going places, especially when it come to action. On Angelina part i felt it more to the same seductress style she gave in MR & Mrs Smith, quiet, serious, it doesn't cut it for me, she better make another Oscar worthy performance, cause here she just a lady with a gun with no chemistry. Morgan Freeman said a curse word, that really sound it like shaft, this man is already following in step of walker in taking different role.
Coming from action Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, has a vast fascination to the matrix movies that he have up the anti, but this being He's first American film, kind come flat, the car flipping to get the shot in top of a limo, was something that only Michael bay have done, but without the shot, or the pick me up in your viper in the parking lot of the grocery store, are some well, but honestly the chase sequence driving with your feet while being in front of the car, and shooting from behind that's so terminator 2. What i will give is train crash, by far not even Steven seagal under siege 2 can make a car jump and make a spectacle of it. but honesty the siege on the factory, and the well is play out , make the hall shootout of the 1rst matrix make it wipe it on baby bottom, i mean really this is something that you can see in a shooter game or even a kung fu flick. With the cashing of the gun, while shoveling to the head of a former friend, is pure classic.
I don't approve the way they made the film, if they have gone in the original graphic novel , the budget would been higher. But let alone to the visual of the action, this film can only be compare than action film. period.
I mean is great we see something standardizing from Mrs. Jolie, but hey she was better in Beowulf, but the y should added, more story to the fraternity, but introducing more than one.
the action sequence are great, but they should have made more, and surprise us, like in the style of Night watch and Day watch. Look i m true fan to the comic, and bottom line this film is great, not excellence, but great. that truly entertain ya with the fine acting of McAvoy, and the comedy tone that have. So go out and pull out the gun, and give this one a try, and let see if you can really curve the bullet for this.
