Review of Wanted (2008) by Lee G — 06 Jan 2014

Exaggerating action but still exciting action pack. Thousand years ago, a group of assassins begin to kill people to restore peace. They are The Fraternity. James McAvoy dislike his job, his boss and no care for anything.

David O'Hara want to find out the source of a mystery bullet which is untraceable and the admin is killed. He jump from the building, crash the glass and in mid air shoot the snipers dead and land on the other building.

He stand at a spot for Thomas Kretschmann who is very far away to shoot dead. Chris Pratt is James colleague who is also secretly fucking his girlfriend but he knows. He is at the supermart and Angelina Jolie appears, telling him his father died and save him from Thomas who is there.

James run out and Angelina drive a Dodge Viper save him. The car chase scene is exciting and she flip the car, side land on a bus and drive off. He awaken in the lair of Morgan Freeman. He ask him to shoot the wings off the fly.

Common force him to shoot or be dead and James somehow did it well. His anxiety attack is actually a skill few had in this world. His heartbeat increase the adrenalin and he need to control to be better.

His father is a skillful assassin under Morgan. All his assets is transfer to James. He got rich and feels better, fight back towards his boss and use the keyboard to smash Chris face. James join the Fraternity.

Angelina and the rest begin to train him to be one of them. The coolest thing is they know how to swerve the bullet. Thomas begin to kill off the Fraternity one by one. Morgan tell the whole story to James.

Thomas was also the Fraternity but he go rogue. James is inspired and want to be as good as his father. He also start to study Thomas past kills and he is always ahead of his game. James finally master the swerve bullet.

A giant sewing machine will sew codes and translate into names of their targets. James and Angelina go on train top to kill his first target but he didn't shoot. He don't know why fate chosen him and what evil he done.

Angelina tell him a story that a attorney that don't take bribes is visited by a killer who burn him alive in front of his daughter. After she join, she realize the name of the killer pops up weeks before the incident but the assassin didn't pull the trigger.

It appears she is that little girl. James complete that mission and 2nd mission he shoot the car window but its bullet proof. Angelina sling his car and it flip on top so James shoot through the sunroof and kill the target.

James go home to take his gun and Angelina kiss him in front of his girlfriend. Angelina go find a car and Thomas appear in front of James. He go after him and one of the Fraternity Brian Caspe is shot by James.

The others arrives and Thomas swerve the bullet and hit James. He survive but the other didn't. The bullet is trace to a monastery and the maker is Terence Stamp. Morgan let him go alone for this mission and Angelina next target is to kill James.

Terence says he can arrange a meeting for James. He ran away at the train station and the duo chase. James saw Thomas in train and he go in the leaving train left. Angelina crash up to the train. The train master pull the e-brake and the train falls off the track on bridge.

Thomas stretch his hand out and save James but he pull his gun and shot him. Thomas says he is his son and died. Angelina know this all along and says he is recruited because Thomas wouldn't kill his own son.

Both their names came up for assassination. James shoot the window and they escape. He awaken heal at the home of Thomas, who just live opposite him all along. Terence tell him when Thomas left the Fraternity, Morgan want him dead.

He doesn't want James to join the Fraternity and protect him all along. Thomas go rogue when he find out Morgan is spewing out his own target for money and he is the target but somehow manage to turn everyone against Thomas instead.

James look through his plans and gonna use the rat bomb carrier. The rats exploded inside the factory and James attack in. Finally he is surrounded by Angelina and others. He take out the kill order with Morgan name on it and tell the truth to them.

She shot James hand when he try to aim at Morgan. Morgan tell everyone their name came up for assassination and he is the one who save them and bring their organization to higher level. He tell them they can all either honour the code and kill themselves or kill James.

Common want to kill James, Angelina swerve the bullet one round and kill everyone including herself through the head and throw a gun to James. Morgan point the gun at the decoy James in his office and he is standing at X spot.

James use the same way and bullet to kill as his father.
