Wanted

On Tuesday, July 7, 2008, I went to see the movie Wanted. This movie features James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman.

The premise of the movie is that we learn about a group of assassins, who call themselves The Fraternity. They also are highly skilled in many forms of weaponry. However, their specialty is that they are very good with guns and bullets.

The film starts off with a lot of violence, lots of people get killed, because someone asks about a bullet. The bloodshed happens, and you see that the guy who asked the question runs away from the room. He gets to the end of the hallway, and he pushes for the elevator, frantically. You see that the elevator comes, and he uses that as extra distance to build enough speed to kill all the people who were supposed to kill him. After some exchange of conversation, you see that this guy gets shot by a bullet.

That was a nice first scene... The premise of the movie is that the main character, Wesley Gibson, is a nobody, and is a bit of a wuss. His boss is overbearing and is a real bitch. His girlfriend is cheating on him, and with his best friend at the office. On top of that, this asshole bums purchases off of Wesley.

The premise of the movie is that Wesley's father, whom he believed walked out on him when he was seven days old, was killed by an assassin name Cross, and now, the assassin is off to get Wesley. Eventually, Wesley takes on the training to become an assassin, and learns about the ways of the Fraternity. He is angry about the assassin, and wants to avenge his father's death by killing Cross.

Does he kill Cross? Does he fail in his quest? How does he track him down? All these questions and possibly more will be reviewed if you watch the movie. It is one that you should see if you like lots of action and excessive violence, but done in the style of Kill Bill.
