I watched "Wanted" the other night and I must say this movie was really good! Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman were the main actors that I recognized. They both played their roles really good. Basically in the movie there's this man who lives with anxiety/panic disorder (or at least thinks he does) He goes to work everyday and his job stresses him out because he's got this really nasty boss who picks on him so there's a bit of office bullying going on there. Until he finally snaps and tells her off then walks out. His father is an assassin who is really good at his job and gets killed. The man was set up to think that the man who killed his father was going to kill him and his assignment was to get to Cross(the man who he believed killed his father)first. So this group of assassins train the man brutally by beating him and teaching him how to curve a bullet. The man at first doesn't understand how fate picks the names of people who are suppose to die until Morgan Freeman shows him. They weave yard and it shows a code by this weave which sometimes misses stitches and they are numbered. When they figure out this numbered code it spells out someone's name and that is their assignment. I'm not going to spoil the ending for you because there's a bit of a twist. This movie has been the best I've seen in a very long time. Have you seen this movie yet? What did you think about it?

I too was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed "Wanted"--did it get a lot of good press when it was released in theaters? James Macavoy The only thing I would add to the original review is that I really enjoyed the music/score. Danny Elfman, former lead singer of Oingo Boingo who does mostly instrumental musical scores, sings on the title track ("The Little Things") While there's also a Nine Inch Nails song in the movie, it's not included on the soundtrack, which is more like the score. James McAvoy (Atonement, Becoming Jane) plays the lead and also does a tremendous job going from zero to hero. If you have Netflix, add it to your queue--it's a fun thriller/action movie.

I have not yet seen the movie wanted. I think I am missing something by not seeing the movie. These days I have been unable to watch a lot of movies. Rather I have watched only a handful of them and dying to see some good ones. With the madagascar II round the corner, I dont feel like missing the same.

I always admire Morgan Freeman's act. I like all his movies... most of it. I find the movie "Wanted" very entertaining. I just enjoy to see the slow-mo of the bullets flying across the streets, makes a few curves and hit the target precisely!

Yes that was pretty amazing and I wonder if you could actually do that in real life? I really like Morgan Freeman also. I haven't seen the bucket list yet but it looks really good I think I'll check out this flick with him in there sometime too. Thanks for your comment and merry christmas
