It's been awhile since I've written a review about a feature film in the theaters, so I decided to get back into it. Today's review is Wanted- an incredibly violent(and incredibly necessary) movie about a fraternity of assasins who recruit a white-collar, average Joe to take on his father's killer. You may have already dubbed this film as a violent Matrix rip-off. That's actually almost exactly what it is, except the film is an adaptation of a Graphic Novel* with the same-title written by Mark Miller*. Don't judge a book by it's cover, and you may find this movie an excellent action flick with no hold-bars, and an awesome twist. The acting is not horrible, and the lead looks alot like John Linnell*. This is not for the squeamish! Angelina Jolie is still hot in this film, so that's definitely a plus. If you like action movies, then you need to go see this movie now!(or buy a They Might Be Giants CD)
Bottom Line: B+
Mark Miller- American comic book writer whom in which did not write Sin City. That's Frank Miller!
Graphic Novel: The proper name for a comic book run.
John Linnell: One of the founding members of the incredible, intelligent-rock band They Might Be Giants. Also #9 on People magazines most beautiful people online poll.

What did you think of James McAvoy in the movie? I really liked him in a BBC movie called Rory O'Shea was here from a few years ago. Now I see him all over the place.
