WANTED

Having literally just got in the door from WANTED I felt the need to do this instant review while it's still fresh in my head. WANTED is good. Very good. Not great, but very good. Well, it's better than good. If there's a word for something that's in between good and great, like, maybe, grood, then WANTED is it. It's full of everything any male could ever want from a movie: slow motion bullet time, guns, more guns, blood, violence, and Angelina Jolie. These things alone make WANTED worth watching, even if you have never, ever, even once heard anything about it.

The plot follows the hapless, boring, everyday protagonist Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) and his life takes a huge turn into the adrenaline fuelled life of an assassin when he comes in contact with head assassin Sloan(Morgan Freeman) and the feisty Fox(Angelina Jolie). I don't want to give too much of the plot away because i just hate doing that. People who spoil movies are worse than the people who talk during them. Or slurp their drink. Well, you know what they say. The darkest depths of hell are reserved for murderers and people who talk in the cinema.

WANTED is definitely worth going to see. It's hit and miss for different people but everyone should at least give it a shot. You may or may not regret it but it's still one of those things you just shouldn't let slip by. Watch it, and form your own opinions.

I give WANTED a strong 7/10
