Wanted

Thought I would write a little about the movie. Well, I think 'Wanted' is arguably the best action movie since Matrix(though I liked Bourne but that was different). Wanted is refreshing and redefines the genre. And it does start in kind of Matrix way, pulling the boy hero from his mundane life into big league 'chosen one' mode and turning him into a man. James McAvoy(British/Scottish(?) with a decent American accent) plays Wesley. Bekmambetov is the director having famous Russian 'Night Watch' series to his credit. Angelina Jolie is Fox, played in a cool way. Morgan Freeman is Sloan (I thought the role was similar to the one played in Gone Baby Gone, in spirit at least).

The story is no great shake. And the plot is not too solid. But the movie makes up with some great chase scenes, splendid train wreckage scene, cheeky fun, lots of blood and racy pace throughout. Its the kind of movie people would hate to love or love to hate...

Watch this high octane, over the top adrenalin rush without thinking too much and wait for Wall-E and The Dark Knight.
