wanted - angelina jolie
Today I went to see it. Visually it’s stunning , the gunfights remind me The Matrix. The most notable effect is the curve bullet like a tennis curve shot or Beckham free kick. At the end Angelina Jolie takes one 360 degree shot. Loved the use of rats transporting the bombs, wise strategic move.
The story is about The Assassins, a 1000 years old Fraternity recruits a young man and train him to kill a traitor. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) has the ability to increase adrenaline 400 beat per minute while the human average is 120, everything around is in slow motion. Their target are dictated on a secret code based on yarn. Who commanded the order to kill ? ‘Fate’ would say the leader.
The actors, Angelina Jolie is superb in her role darker than playing Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. James McAvoy is an innoncent guy at the beginning then turned to a well trained assasin after 6 weeks. I think his expression looks somewhat similar to Tobey Maguire In Spider Man. Morgan Freeman plays the leader of the organisation and manipulate them like a true master, always calm.
Overall this film is just for action. Just enjoy the moment. I don’t recommend for people under 16, it’s violent and bloody. I would place it on the same category as Mission Impossible 2 & 3, Equilibrium but more violent. Worth to watch a second time ? NO
Note 8/10
