i’ll be honest: the only reason i watched Wanted is because Angelina Jolie stars in it.

what, i’m not bisexual! :( i just really, really like her, and her tattoos, and her lips, and her missonary work, and charity, and the fact that she drips sexiness. and i’m the only one among my friends who thinks that Jolie is 110% hotter than Jennifer Aniston.
shit now i really sound like i’m bi.
the movie itself, though, isn’t much of a breakthrough. it’s a bit like.. well, have you ever seen an episode of Scrubs? well, the star of the movie Wesley Gibson reminds me of that guy in Scrubs.
the backstory of Wanted postulates that there exists a thousand-year-old secret society of assassins called the Fraternity; whose elite members take killing orders from a .. are you ready? WEAVING MACHINE. (shit if you don’t know what’s a weaving machine you seriously damn potong stim.)
fast forward to the 21st century, the leader of this bunch of assassins, Sloan (Morgan Freeway) explains, the assassins, after getting their assignments via a woven code, kill because it’s “necessary to maintain balance in the world,” he explains.
that’s probably the hardest thing to grasp in this movie, along with the curving bullets. (psychics didn’t teach me that bullets don’t move in a straight line.)
Wesley Gibson is a mild-mannered account manager stuck in a stupid job, a cheating girlfriend and an absentee father. to cope with life, he takes anti-anxiety pills, and one day at the drug store, he met Fox (Angelina Jolie), and his life changes forever.
Wesley finds out that his father was killed on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building and that he’s the next target. most of the movie is about Wesley being recruited into the Fraternity to avenge his father’s death and training hard, curving bullets, running on trains, getting beaten up, and being slashed.
i liked the action, i loved Jolie and James McAvoy, i hated the ridiculous storyline.
there’s a twist to the movie though, right at the end, but even that’s not as climatic as it should have been.
whatever :) i’m gonna catch the nanny diaries next!
