Wanted review

By John Monasky
Advertising Manager

Wanted is an action packed movie filled with heart-stopping adrenalin rushes -–comparable to the Matrix with its graphics and stunning futuristic action. Although this movie is placed in present time—it creates a futuristic twist to everyday life. Wesley Gibson, played by, James McAvoy, is a 25-year-old accountant working his 9 to 5 shift, tired of his life, yearning for something exciting. While at a local grocery, Wes is intercepted by a member of what he later finds out to be the Fraternity of Assassins: Fox, played by the sexy, seductive Angelina Jolie. The head of the Fraternity, played by the dashing Morgan Freeman, sees the Wes’ internal potential.

Wes is trained by the best to fight—and to control the curve of a bullet. He is put through a number of battling tests to improve his agility and control—all driven by the death of his father. No words can describe this film. One has to experience it by watching it. A majority of this movie was filmed in our very city of Chicago. It is a great movie that keeps you at the edge of your seat. I give this film a 4.75 out of 5. This is definitely a film to see, especially when the action is comparable to the Matrix.
