Wanted

Right off the bat Wanted is a kick-ass movie. It's been a while since I'd seen a movie with complete disregard for reality, in fact the last time I think it was The Matrix. Remember how when the first time you saw The Matrix you were completely blown away and couldn't believe what you were seeing. Wanted had the exact same effect on me, it was such an exciting film that you don't really care if none if it is even possible you just want to see what is going to happen next. The story goes as follows, this compete and total loser named Wesley Gibson has to be one of the most pathetic characters in a film ever. Just to put it in perspective without giving to much away, the guy ends up buying condoms for his best friend who intends to use them to have sex with his girlfriend, and he knows it, but it much of a punk to do anything about it. Wesley's gets a complete 180 when out of nowhere a woman shows up with a gun and keeps him from being assassinated. This woman of course is the gorgeous Angelina Jolie, who is so hot in this movie she melts the screen. Wesley soon finds out that his father was part of a group of super-assassins who kill to shape the future of the world. Think of it as these were the guys who REALLY killed Hitler then you got the idea. Wes then learns that his father was the best in the group of these super-assassins, but he was killed and they needed his help to find his killer. At this point I was thinking yeah right, this scrawny punk is going to help them, when he cant even stand up to his boss. Well learning all of this changes Wes and his transformation from bitch to bad ass is so satisfying simply because we was such a pathetic guy. I'm not going to spoil everything, but Wanted is just one of those rare action movies that comes along and is so fun to watch that you think to yourself nothing will ever top this. Also starring Morgan Freeman this is a movie you cannot miss, and since it's on DVD now you really have no excuse.
