Wanted

Current IMDB Rating: 7.0/10
My Rating: 7.4/10

This movie is meant to be fun, pure fun. You are meant to take the place of the main character who is so basic that he could be you. You are meant to live this adventure with him, and you do. The camera, the actors, they take you right inside his world and everything he is experiencing. His boss is your boss because his boss is an asshole. His friends are your friends because they can be assholes. He is a loser just like you, and now you're in for the ride of your life.

When Wesley Gibson finds out - suddenly - that he is not just an ordinary loser and that his father is actually a super-assassin who was killed in an attack, he starts an adventure that takes him bouncing around and killing people with Angelina Jolie. Now doesn't that sound like fun?

Eventually he is taught the ways of The Fraternity, a secret group of assassins who is hunting the man who killed his father. As he gets further into the depths of The Fraternity this all changes and he finds out that everything he knows is a lie and he is being used for other reasons. Ones I honestly didn't see coming.

This movie is nothing more or less than a thrill-ride. It doesn't masquerade as some important movie, one that will be remembered for all eternity. It is what it is, and that's what I like about it. It's not significant by the end of it all, you will feel some significance in your life.
