Great special effects. In fact some of the best ever seen in a movie.
The action sequences were very good especially when Angelina Jolie opened her car door to catch a passenger. You’ve got to see it to believe it; the rest is unbelievable.
Angelina Jolie is a quality actress; unfortunately they only give her material to glide through here.
If you’re looking for characters, plot, dialogue; go see another movie.
With a budget of just (ha, ha) £75 million and gross takings of $323 million, I guess the film makers and the cast have the last laugh.
Most reviewers have been so kind to this film, however one critic suggested the title should have the word ‘Not’ tacked on to the front. I tend to agree, but then mindless killing doesn’t always make a movie for me. A brilliant screenplay does. This wasn’t it despite James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman and Terrance Stamp working (casually) to try and find a genuine story in amongst the killing.
I won’t be at Wanted 2, the return of the fraternity.

Saw the movie, it was pretty crappy actually. Angelina looked a little too skinny for my liking and Morgan Freeman… man what a waste of his talent!
