Wanted!
I just watched WANTED yesterday, and let me just say it was LEGEN…wait for it…and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant because the next word is…DARY!
Hold on, back up a minute, I know I’m all being Barney-like and stuff but seriously, WANTED is a cool film. I really recommend you to watch it if you’re looking for mind-numbing action. It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen a good testosterone-packed movie and WANTED did not fail to deliver. Although, James McAvoy did disappoint me a bit in the film for not being able to pull-off the once-corporate-slave-turned-avenging-mercenary. Even after everything he went through in the film, the transformation of his character in the end still seemed forced. It was like an altar boy trying hard to be tough and edgy. He paled in comparison to Edward Norton’s transformation as Tyler Durden in FIGHT CLUB. But all in all, James was cute and funny in his own way. Also Angelina Jolie was, as always, perfect in her portrayal as Fox, the gun-slinging-sexy-slayer. If anything, she’s the most interesting part of the movie (but then again, if you’re a boy you’d probably be concentrating more on the fight scenes and whatnot). All in all I give it B. Trust me, it’s a movie you’d regret not seeing on the BIG screen.
