Wanted

Starring:
James McAvoy
Morgan Freeman
Angelina Jolie

Based on the Comic Book Series by:
Mark Millar
J.G. Jones

Directed by:
Timur Bekmambetov

Wanted is action packed from beginning to end. James McAvoy offers up a decent performance as the anxiety stricken Accountant turned Hit-Man Wesley. Morgan Freeman portrays Sloan, the man who calls the shots (literally) at The Fraternity, he does an excellent job of bringing some control to an almost out of control story. Angelina Jolie offers up a bunch of exciting moments with her character Fox, there is never a dull moment when Angelina is in the scene. You will be constantly entertained as long as you don't look too deep into the plot of the movie because frankly it has quite a few holes. It seemed to me like the directors goal was to try and have the viewer be so stunned by the awesome special effects and stunts in the movie that no one would stop and say "wait a minute, how did a bunch of ancient weavers know how to turn 1's and 0's into letters." I have read other reviews and there are alot of people stating there is too much violence in this movie, to that I say define "too much." Yes the movie is violent, but I don't feel that it was any more violent than Fight Club and much less violent than say Shoot 'Em Up.

This movie is not for those looking for a realistic movie with a strong plot and a well developed story line. It's a movie that provides great entertainment through its fight sequences, special effects, car chases, and comical narration from James McAvoy. The movie kept me entertained, but I was left with too many unanswered questions at the end.

The movie is rated R and rightfully so due to graphic language, a couple sex scenes (no they don't include Angelina Jolie), and graphic violence. You do see Angelina Jolies butt in this movie along with her back full of killer tattoos, but that alone wouldn't qualify for an R rating.

Overall I gave this movie 7 out of 10

So Cross left The Fraternity because Sloan found out Cross knew that Sloan had covered up his own name (Sloan's) coming out of The Loom and realized Sloan was manufacturing names for profit and not truly relaying names from The Loom. Cross then began defending himself by killing all members of The Fraternity that would try to kill him and trying to save his son by not letting The Fraternity turn him into a Hit Man. Was this the reason all members of The Fraternitys names came out of The Loom, because Sloan had manipulated them? Or did their names never really come out of The Loom and Sloan just made that up?

Why couldn't Wesley see that Cross didn't want him dead after 2 open attempts where Cross could have killed him and didn't?
