Product Description:
Universal Pictures Wanted (Blu-ray) Loosely based on the comic book miniseries of the same by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones, WANTED, directed by Timur Bekmambetov, follows anxiety-prone office drone Wesley Gibson (JamesMcAvoy) as he is inducted into the Fraternity, a clan of powerful killers that counted his father as a member. Pursued by rogue agent Cross (Thomas Kretschmann), Wesley is trained by the sleek, sexy Fox (Angelina Jolie) and the charismatic Sloan (Morgan Freeman), among others, to be just as proficient and deadly as his father. Once Wesley becomes a master assassin, he must confront Cross, and contend with the stunning ramifications of that encounter.

Amazon.com:
As the impresario behind gravity-defying Russian blockbuster Night Watch, it's inevitable that Hollywood would come calling for Timur Bekmambetov. With a studio budget and an international cast, including two Oscar winners, Timur cooks up a Hong Kong-styled actioner bursting with fast cars and big guns. Our unlikely hero is mild-mannered Chicago accountant Wesley Gibson (Atonement's James McAvoy), whose father died when he was a tot. Wesley never learned to stand up for himself, and his girlfriend, boss, and best buddy all take advantage until the seductive Fox (Angelina Jolie) rescues him from a sharpshooter named Cross (The Pianist’s Thomas Kretschmann). After which, she whisks him away to a mansion on the edge of town to meet the other members of the Fraternity, where leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman) informs Wesley that Cross, a rogue agent, executed his father. Sloan believes Wesley has the goods to take him out, so he undergoes the Fraternity's brutal training regimen (Marc Warren and Common dish up some of the abuse). When he's ready, Sloan sends him out to fulfill his duty, but matters become complicated when Wesley finds out someone isn't telling the truth, leading our former milquetoast to exact an elaborate revenge. For those who've been following McAvoy's career to date, Wanted will surely come as a surprise. In adapting Mark Millar's comic series, Timur offers buckets of blood and a smidgen of depth, but fans of The Matrix and Mr. and Mrs. Smith will want to give this one a look. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Ok
The movie is ok. Great action scenes, but I wasn't impressed with the premise of the movie.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Loved it!
Okay with modern technology comes Hollywoods ability to make things grosser, and more realistic. This movie has no shortage of f bombs and other extremely violent and bloody scenes. With that said, . . I LOVED this movie. Action packed, edge of your seat, nail bitter. James was very convincing as the average Joe stuck in meaningless life. Angelina was very convincing assasin, Morgan, . . I mean heck its Morgan Freeman. Well, casted, beautifuly filmed, nice storyline. Very entertaining. As ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Deeper Message In The Action
The story of a well meaning secret society being hijacked and taken over by a corrupt thug has a lot of parallels in the real world in regards to secret societies that were transformed into nihilistic, narcissistic death cults, who are obsessed with the acquisition of profit and power, and are the reason for a lot of the world's misery and suffering.

Sure the action is all eye candy but the movie is a loud, clear and brutal message about taking back control from murderous, Machiavellian ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good movie with some very good actors
This is a good movie which has some very unique special effects. Most were done in moscow so they are pretty far out there. The idea of bending a bullets flight and seeing two bullets hitting each other is not that believable, but seeing Angelina and Morgan freeman again was worth the price of the DVD. Story line was some what believable.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I Guess The Laws Of Physics Isn't Something The Filmmakers Wanted...
Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy, who impressed me in The Last King Of Scotland till I learned his character didn't exist in real life) is a young twenty-something who's life is droll and predictable. He suffers from what he thinks are panic, headache-like attacks whenever he's provoked. Then one day he finds out through a mysterious woman (Angelina Jolie, who seems a little too old to play this Lara Croft look-a-like at this point) that he's the son of a former gone-rogue member of an elite group of assassins ...
