Fifty T @RT01421419 3 days ago I somehow didn't see Wanted for the longest time, and I loved it when I finally watched it now, almost two decades later. I was a bit apprehensive going in, but the film doesn't look dated at all. The action is well choreographed and genuinely exciting - you just need to forget the laws of physics, suspend some logic, and settle into pure entertainment mode. That last scene mirroring the first shot was a really nice touch and stuck with me. James McAvoy carries the transformation convincingly, while Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman add strong star power that elevates the whole thing. It's stylish, energetic, and still holds up as a fun ride. I'm left wondering why they never made a sequel, and why McAvoy didn't lean further into action-hero roles afterward (X-Men probably played a part). 8/10: A solid, rewatchable surprise. Recommended.

It’s a slick romp through craziness, with a not so subtle blend of comedy and the sinister. I am not usually a fan of Jolie but she does a good job as anchorwoman and McAvoy does his usual ‘crazy’ which fits in nicely. There are some cute ideas and classic ‘Shoot’em’Up’ scenes, so what is not to like. Grab the Buttons Share Bag, your favourite libation and have fun.

So He is running from death. It causes so many deaths makes. Etc: Car accidents, Training disaster, Assassins deaths. Fate is fr. Kinda makes sense. See more Chris S @Janomi Jul 28, 2026 Wanted is good because it is so aggressively stylized. The curved bullets, slow motion, impossible assassinations, exploding action beats, and comic-book violence give it a completely ridiculous but memorable identity. The movie knows it is absurd and leans all the way into it. James McAvoy works well because Wesley starts as such a miserable, anxious, beaten-down office worker. His transformation into someone dangerous gives the film a strong wish-fulfillment hook, and McAvoy sells the anger and liberation behind it. Angelina Jolie also fits the world perfectly as Fox, bringing cool, deadly, mysterious assassin energy. The movie moves fast, with training scenes, car stunts, assassinations, and the train sequence keeping things slick and chaotic. The story is nonsense, especially the assassin fraternity, magic loom, and destiny plot, but Wanted is fun when treated as pure comic-book insanity. See more Read all reviews
