That the movie Wanted It has been a great success in the USA (it has raised 134 million dollars and has cost 75), and outside of it, I am not surprised because it offers everything that the adolescent and not so adolescent asks for to have a good time: large doses of action , good special effects and little time to think.
As always the script In this type of film it is very predictable but it is not at all bad: boy (James McAvoy) who has a tedious and bitter life discovers that he is someone and is trained as a great murderer to end the bad, very bad (or not so bad , he he). And, if above, his master in the art of killing is the super sexy Angelina Jolie Well, everything is said.
Some of you will tell me that the film is not very credible in some (most) of the action scenes but here lies the success of this production in going a little further than other productions, and seeing that a bullet does not have to go straight or can collide with another bullet to deflect danger. It is clear that we are not facing a realistic film so these hyperbole are part of the fabric of history and are the touch expected by all lovers of good action movies.
The success has been such that there are already rumors of a second part.
