Wanted (2008)

"As a light reply to "Simpson":

You're one of the many people that doesn't understand the point of the movie.
They deliberately picked a more average young man to portray someone with a more
"miserable" and even below average life.
Hence the sort of joke by 'Sloan' (Freeman's character) "I thought he'd be..... taller...".
Plus the whole crew that made the film will tell you that, including McAvoy himself.

The movie is about being one of the sheep (everybody) always doing the same thing, day in, day out.
But Wesley Gibson was dragged out of that rut by Fox as sent by The Fraternity.
With the main reason being him being a son of someone that was in The Fraternity, thus having the same abilities in his blood.

So there he went, taking control of his life, taking control of his destiny.
Ending up in amazing assignments, a lot of stunning action and thrilling moments.
It's also very emotional if you care enough, for at least Gibson and Fox.
For different reasons I won't spoil here.

Overall this film is very hard and crude, and if you aren't a dumb action-buff, which would describe it as such a film, you'll also see it's a very smart and deep story with many amazing twists.
If you want to just "leave your brain at the door" and trip on the action alone, that's fine.
But that would be your dumb choice, you'll miss the whole message.

"Great concept! This film is very entertaining with plenty of action. Angelina is as sexy as ever and well worth seeing this film just to see her. Our hero of the film was a strange choice being a very meek and mild dude trying to play the tough guy - it just doesn't work.
Watch out for the train crash scene - stunning effects, don't miss it!
A bit of comedy was also thrown in but fails to deliver the intention. This movie was entertaining but also a bit disappointing at the same time. Still good fun though.
Go see it !!! "
