WANTED (2008)
TIMUR BEKMAMBETOV
Plot
25-year-old Wes is the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet has ever known, his boss chews him out hourly, his girlfriend ignores him and his life plods on interminably. Everyone is certain this disengaged slacker will amount to nothing, but after his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the 'Fraternity', a secret society that trains him to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As Fox teaches Wes the arts of lightning-quick reflexes and bullet swerving, he discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code; carry out the death orders given by fate itself. Yada, yada, yada' this is a full on, nuts out action movie and though no work of genius that's exactly why it does the business. Slick, brutal, bloody and very, very silly. Enjoy!
