The other day I went to the cinema to see “Wanted“. I’ve been waiting for this film for some time now, since I liked the trailer and heard quite a few positive reviews from people who saw it earlier. It wasn’t a disappointment at all. On the contrary. I really liked it. In fact, I’m planning to go and see it once again, while it is on the large screen, and then I want to get myself the DVD with all the extras and special features.
Excellent special effects, great soundtrack, and quite a few twists in the story - some of which are predictable and some are not - all these makes it into an excellent entertainment. Of course, Angeline Jolie with gun fights and car chases is a major attraction as well. Morgan Freeman is a nice addition. But what I liked the most about the movie is its originality. Not breathtaking kind, but the kind which really made me watch it in full attention. Rarely do I come across something from Hollywood and have this feeling.
Overall, 9 out of 10. Strongly recommended.

Yeah, great movie. U know, Tim Burton filming “Alice in wonderland”. Knowing him twisted style, this is the movie I want to see for sure.

Combining Tim Burton and “Alice in Wonderland” is like taking alcohol and drugs at the same time.
BTW, I went to see “Wanted” once more. It was as good as the first time.
