Movie Review: Wanted (2008)
Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman & Angelina Jolie
Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Writer(s): Michael Brandt & Derek Haas
Rating: R
Official Bar Score: 
Wesley Gibson is just your average everyday loser working the 9 to 5 for some corperate dead end job He suffers from anxiety disorders and buckles under pressure. His girlfriend is banging his best friend and he can’t stand pretending to give a fuck about his life anymore or any thing for that matter. Suddenly all that changes in the blink of an eye, when a very sexy stranger informs him of his fathers assassination. A father that skipped town when he was a week old, a father whom was involved in a very secret organization of assassins, called the fraternity. A father with a very special knack for killing, that which he may share. You learn all that and you get a moderate sex scene, a bad ass action sequence with 5 head shots including a bullet rewind scene and an assassination attempt in a pharmacy in the first 15 minutes of the film. From beginning to end it never fucking stopped.
After the introduction it did slow down to a steady pace, it allowed time for some pretty wild training exorcises and some random shit to take place then BAM back in your face action. I loved this movie, you take a film like Shoot Em Up and give it a fantastic story with a great plot and solid acting you get Wanted. Angelina Jolie was so sexy in this film too with her tattoos and fat lips, I’d tie a bomb to rat just to see her naked. My favorite part in the movie was when Wesley snaps at the office, that scene was very Bar worthy.
Wanted is probably the coolest movie ive seen this year (not the best, the COOLEST) . All the bullet curving scenes were awesome, the car chases were intense and the directing style was just wicked. If you like over the top action, and exsessive gunfire than this is your movie. I’m glad I finally got to see it I had a lot of fun watching it and can’t wait to see it again, I just wish that the DVD has an extended ass scene from Angelina Jolie, that is one nice ass.

That bullet curving madness looked stupid in the trailer. This looks like a “Shoot Em Up” knock off.
Shit this was way better than shoot em up.
Fuck that, I don’t even need to see it know that’s not true.
Monica Belluci > Angelina Jolie
Yeah that makes since don’t even give it a chance because Monica Belluci isn’t in it.
Winston confessed his love for me on the phone not even 5 mins. ago, I’m not sure if that meant he came out of the closet or not but I think that is sexual harassment and i can’t work at the Bar any longer under those conditions.
I like to dissect girls. Did you know I’m utterly insane?
I guess you could say I just want to have a meaningful relationship with someone special.
See? It wasn’t me it was Patrick Bateman.
That’s bullshit, I was talking to my fiance and you know it.
As for the movie, I’m saying… “Shoot Em Up” was top 2 of all last year. Saying “Wanted” is better is bold fucking statement. All I’m saying is the trailer makes it look like a watered down version of the same movie.
Shoot em up didn’t have a solid story like wanted. Wanted has the good qualities of shoot em up but has a better storyline with less loop holes and nice twist.
i dont know wendell it sounds to me like you were just sold on jolie, the cracked out fish lipped bug eyed werido of hollywood. but hey to each there own. dose wanted have comic relief in it or dose it take itself way to seriose, like most movies jolie is in. sorry i have a grudge out aganst her for all those jolie lovers. the bitch is insane and not really all that hot. miss proportiond due to over done plastic surgury. my own opinion. thats all.
Why the fuck does she have binary code tattoed on her? Is that a cheap ploy to appeal to the internet nerd crowd? Then what is the upside down tattoo that says “tears” supposed to appeal to?
I’ll see the movie at some point
she is owned by the robot lords of tokyo, they stole her tear ducts so now the only crying she can do is on her flesh ha!
hahahahaha what the fuck?
And Matt, you are crazy. A.J. is a fine mother*shut yo mouth*
