Wanted

The first movie i caught this year at Orange Cinema. Had to watch it for three reasons : Angelina Jolie, Angelina Jolie & Angelina Jolie.. it also goes with my fascination for guns and shooting. And this is what this movie's all about... Guns - Shooting - Assassination.


Directed by a Russian first timer (in anglais), applauds to him getting Jolie , Freeman and McAvoy. Though I wouldn't say any acting talent to be appreciated.. but its worth a look. And its definitely a edge seater for gun - action lovers.



Its basically a normal middle class working guy who get drawn by action, thrills and excitement, that he joins a group of assassins (to avenge his father's death). They give him the rough & tough treatment where he eventually excels to become the best. McAvoy tries hard to put in an American accent (since he is Scottish), Joli and Freeman are always at their best.



Three cheers for the SFX. Well executed in their par. Dodging Bullets.. or shall i say Curving Shots... But at some point I do think its possible to curve the bullet only if practiced and done by an expert. You still get itchy weather things are precisely precise in reality.
As for me I LOVED it 'cos I'm a sucker for Guns.. And because I'm passionate about Guns, I had the honour to (professionally) shoot Black Powder Shooting with a Swiss champion.
So if you like A+A (Action+Angelina) you're in for an exhilarating surprise.

So this is what you WANTED.

Yes i know an India got its first ever indvidual gold medal.
Sajeeve i would sure go.. but the olympics does not recognise black powder shooting as a offical sport. Its only rifles with bullets.

vinod, nice... you should have put a picture of the Swiss champion here. I wouldn't want to watch Wanted, sounds like a guy movie (aka dumb movie) anyway, any movie with angelina is bound to be like that...
