Movie reviews: Wanted (2008)

you violence and action seekers, but there is obviously the "sex sells" factor which I mentioned earlier on. If anyone else had filled the role of Fox, would they really have been able to play it off so well? I personally think not, and no, that is not just a shallow thought. Angelina Jolie is a perfect combination of talent and beauty, and that is something she illustrates to the very edge of perfection in her character throughout this movie. Combining her beauty and talent in that of an enigmatic and mysterious character in the form of Fox, with plenty of violence and of course, the raunchy outfits and the obvious attraction of action, how can this movie possibly fail with any audiences, male or female, critic or viewer? It simply has something for everyone, children not included.

In no way, shape or form can I see Wanted failing. It was released to cinemas on June 27th which is the day I viewed it, and needless to say, it is quite easily the best film of 2008 I have watched so far. It has plenty of action, plenty of violence, plenty of thrills. For once the cinema goers will certainly NOT be disappointed. Wanted is a true breath of fresh air for a seemingly dying genre of action and thrills. If you are new to this genre of movie, or are not familiar with the acting prowess of the likes of Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, take this time and my word to view this movie and see for yourself exactly what these two are capable of and exactly how deep their talents lie. This is without a doubt once of the best performances I have seen from both people.

Wanted is destined for success in 2008, I can personally see it scooping up plenty of awards at the end of the year, and for very good reason. I promise you, folks, you will NOT be disappointed!
