Action, violence, sexy assassins, what more do you want?

Angelina Jolie: Girlish Fun.

WANTED (18, 114 mins) James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Thomas Kretschmann, Common, Marc Warren
Wanted is a slam-bang thriller based on the comic book series about a brotherhood of gun-toting weavers who divine the future from imperfections in fabric.
If the premise of Timur Bekmambetov's English-language debut doesn't make you chuckle, his high-octane film certainly will, blending gratuitous violence, jaw-dropping action and adult humour.
The Kazakhstan director's distinctive, hyperkinetic visual style, which energised Night Watch and its sequel Day Watch, runs rampant here. Bullets defy the laws of physics and rats full of explosive-laden peanut butter reduce an entire stronghold to rubble!
Lowly accountant Wesley Gibson (McAvoy) meets sexy stranger Fox (Jolie), who recruits him into The Fraternity - a secret society of assassins under the leadership of the enigmatic Sloan (Freeman).
Sloan entrusts Fox with honing the newcomer's fighting skills and she introduces Welsey to her associates, who transform him into a killing machine.
Wanted doesn't take itself seriously and nor should we. McAvoy is terrific in the central role and Jolie the sexiest killer imaginable (7H).
