Review of Wanted (2008) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 22 Oct 2013
Before Wanted reaches the end of its wild course, the violence that's been nothing but oppressive becomes genuinely if perversely impressive; the ritual carnage becomes balletic carnage (railroad cars included); the Walter Mitty-esque hero, Wesley, played by James McAvoy becomes a formidable enforcer of summary justice, and Mr.
McAvoy, most memorably the young doctor in "The Last King of Scotland," becomes a certified star.
