Imagine living in a shoddy apartment next to a rail track. Waking up every morning to a nagging girlfriend …who by the way is sleeping with your best friend…to make your way to a job you detest and a boss who is out to get you. And survive panic attacks to top it all!!!
Well that’s poor Wesley Gibson(James McAovy) life till one fine day he runs into a trigger happy Fox(Angelina Jolie) who tells him the father who walked out on him when he was 7 days old died a coupla days back and oh ya! he was an assassin. And Wesley apparently can be one too as he is “gifted” like daddy dear. The panic attacks apparently were something more 
So Wesley happily says good bye to his dreary life and joins The Fraternity, a group of assassins headed by Sloan(Morgan Freeman) where he proceeds to learn to curve a bullet and trains to accomplish his mission….killing Cross(Thomas Kretschmann), the man responsible for his father’s death.
But all is not as it seems in Wesley’s new world. He is soon seeking to escape the very people who promised him an exciting new life.
Based on the 2003 comic mini series Wanted is one big adrenaline rush. High on action and coolness it’s all the stuff you wanted to do while crawling your way through boredom.
We’ve heard similar stories and seen similar movies but what makes Wanted work is some quick editing and slick action.
Great if you are in the mood for a bang bang alpha male action flick.
And Angelina….god bless u!!!!
