Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
As the impresario behind gravity-defying Russian blockbuster Night Watch, it's inevitable that Hollywood would come calling for Timur Bekmambetov. With a studio budget and an international cast, including two Oscar winners, Timur cooks up a Hong Kong-styled actioner bursting with fast cars and big guns. Our unlikely hero is mild-mannered Chicago accountant Wesley Gibson (Atonement's James McAvoy), whose father died when he was a tot. Wesley never learned to stand up for himself, and his girlfriend, boss, and best buddy all take advantage until the seductive Fox (Angelina Jolie) rescues him from a sharpshooter named Cross (The Pianist's Thomas Kretschmann). After which, she whisks him away to a mansion on the edge of town to meet the other members of the Fraternity, where leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman) informs Wesley that Cross, a rogue agent, executed his father. Sloan believes Wesley has the goods to take him out, so he undergoes the Fraternity's brutal training regimen (Marc Warren and Common dish up some of the abuse). When he's ready, Sloan sends him out to fulfill his duty, but matters become complicated when Wesley finds out someone isn't telling the truth, leading our former milquetoast to exact an elaborate revenge. For those who've been following McAvoy's career to date, Wanted will surely come as a surprise. In adapting Mark Millar's comic series, Timur offers buckets of blood and a smidgen of depth, but fans of The Matrix and Mr. and Mrs. Smith will want to give this one a look. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- Bad, cliched, Dreadful...
I thought the dark knight returns was the worst film i'd seen all year.....until i watched this! Bad, bad acting (or what is supposed to be acting)and the big book of cliches is used at every opportunity. James Mcavoy starts the ball rolling with his pathetic, wet character and silly american accent but he's not half as bad as Jolie and Freeman. Angelina pouts quite a lot and strikes a variety of poses from a kay's catalogue whilst shooting the bad guys. Morgan Freeman wears his smart suits and speaks ... Read More

- Modern action classic
Having recently endured a 24 hour flight to New Zealand,i had some relative solace from the passenger in front lying on my lap. I watched this film a total of 4 times on that flight,and can honestly say it didn't get boring,once. For sure,it has plot holes that a family of elephants could comfortably live in,and it's "unrealsitic",but then what film is "realistic"? Every single one features something called acting. The film itself is gloriously entertaining,with the finest use of slow motion i've seen ... Read More
Rating: - Loads of special effects but no characters and no plot
If you like special effects and loads of mindless (and dramatically pointless) violence, with no context or any attempt to create a moral justification (or even an amoral explanation) for the actions of the chacters, then you might just enjoy this film.
The plot is apparently based on a super-villain comic book (or "graphic novel" as prefer to call it) and the film is equally flat and two-diemensional. It is neither intelligent or exciting and the special effects simply become a monotonous ... Read More

- Ratsaction movie
Strange film. An action movie with a confused plot, very good action scenes (with brilliant special effects) a good cast (but McAvoy is not the best for the role) and a "good" cerebral ending (with the "disgusting" and hyperbolic "bombrats" scenes). But mix in a confused matter themes like friendship, loyalty, honor, paternal love, and so on.
Perhaps is a movie too complex for the "simple" minds and too "simplex" for the complex minds.
Rating: - One of the worst films I've ever seen
Do not part with money for this film, it is absolutely terrible! I'm only giving it a 1 star as 0 stars is not available.
I honestly cannot think of any redeeming features or parts to this film, also if you own pet rats I don't think you would appreciate the promotion of total cruelty to animals or the total glorification of violence.
Awful awful film.
