This movie stands as a stunning solid summer entertainment FORCE of Angelina Jolie(named FOX) who has made me to have sleepless weekends now. I LOVE ANGELINA. C’Mon SweetHeart! I am in Beaverton! Gimme a Hug!
Before “Wanted” reaches the end of its wild course, the violence that’s been nothing but Severe becomes genuinely impressive.
The film, based on the series of comic books, evokes a secret FRATERNITY of assassins founded a thousand years ago by a clan of weavers. Why would weavers do such a thing? There are secret messages contained in the textiles from a mill to kill people.
The fraternity includes Morgan Freeman(leader) — he has a meaty role here — and a less-than-fraternal Angelina Jolie, who does lots with her patented exciting lower lip smiles, but also figures, gorgeously, in several sensational action sequences. When she stylishly delivers the punch dialogue “Kill One! Save a Thousand!”,I was at bay.
Wesley Gibson, played by James McAvoy is a formidable star with strong ‘F’ language as an account manager,turns an assassin. So, too, does the director, Timur Bekmambetov, strikes his action along mercilessly, but with spectacular results.
And that Wes was recruited into the Fraternity group because his severe emotion result from a superheated metabolism that gives superpowers. Freeman and Jolie wanted him to be a lean mean fighting machine and they train him hard to avenge his estranged dad’s death. Luckily, The cuts and bruises Wesley suffers during training can be healed almost instantaneously by soaking in a wax-like bath. Towards the end, he realizes the dangerous plot against him by the fraternity and takes revenge by setting things up. Wesley does exceptionally well especially in the brave shuttle-grabbing scene.
In a shooting + car chase sequence, when Jolie went berserk on top of the Red Viper’s hood, the crowd would have turned crazy if in India. She was equally magnificient when she drove the black Audi SUV. Looked hot and much slimmer after the wax-bath scene-when she says ”Prepare, man! Five minutes!” .
I just loved her speeding train surfing. Enjoy the great visuals, amazing sequences and some terrific performances.
The screenplay when analyzed in good terms is scintillating with curving Bullets around obstacles(Inspired by Beckham?!), LCD machine gun and ofcourse, the instruments of the climax violence include a garbage truckload of rats who, overeaten peanut butter, rushes forward with little time bombs strapped on their backs and blow the assasins territory.
In the midway, I just felt the star cast is bit overqualified and they could have made the story bit stronger; Ofcourse, this is not a story that goes for Oscar or Pulitzer.
Wanted earns its R-rating with the tracking of every bullet as it rips through flesh, muscle, and bone. The violence in “Wanted” is swift and brutal, not long and sadistic. The movie has a sense of humor too.
Having guessed you people reached the saturation point of my Jolie Craziness, I am signing off.
VERDICT:
A BlockBuster that delivers what action fans desire with artfulness.
My rating for this movie is 4.5/5 (I would have rated perfect 100%, had my Darling not been shot!).
மொத்தத்துல இந்த படத்தை பத்தி சொல்லணும்னா,
எல்லாமே ஜூலிதான்! அதனாலே ஜாலிதான்!
