The first American feature by Russian director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Day Watch: the two highest grossing films in Russian history), Wanted fuses creative, high-tech ways to kill people with traditional dramatic themes of professional assassins and family revenge. Sexy assassin Fox (Angelina Jolie) approaches normal-guy Wesley (James McAvoy) in a supermarket to inform him of his father's murder, and recruits Wesley to join the Fraternity—a 1,000-year-old organization of professional killers who take it upon themselves to eliminate those fated to die (all bad guys, we're assured). Wesley learns the tricks of the trade from Fox and her associates, and goes on to seek revenge for his father's death. "This over-the-top, ultraviolent, hyperkinetic action thriller pretty much has it all." (Hollywood Reporter) more at wantedmovie.com. 35mm Cinemascope.
