Wanted

Imdb.com 
"It's my anorexic boss's birthday." This is the opening line of the movie, since it begins with an unsatisfied young man in the middle of one of those terrible office parties. Wesley Gibson is in a dead end-tedious job and his girlfriend is cheating on him with his best friend. Life couldn't possibly get any worse, or so he thinks. He also wonders if his father who left him at 7 days old even knows he exists, until a secret unfolds and the chase begins.

Many action scenes were filmed in slow motion to portray Wesley's superhuman condition which is really effective. And when Fox, (played by Angelina Jolie) comes onto the scene with her sexy, sophisticated, non-apolegetic attitude there's no turning back. There's no amount of awesomeness to describe her tough exterior and when she pulls out her giant revolver with the purse on her arm you absolutely adore the superwoman asthetic. The car chase scene is exhilirating and you honestly feel bad for Wesley Gibson who is still just trying to get his act together.

But Wesley Gibson's true power is revealed when he finds out he is the son of a powerful assasin and has a phenomenal ability to react faster than any other human. He enters the routine of the Fraternity until fate comes along with a hellish twist. One bullet blows your mind after another, nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing and Sound Mixing this action flick becomes dreadfully delightful. And as for the end of the film, well that's just another story. ;)

**Warning there is a lot of blood and violence!

8/10
