Being hesitant to purchase a ticket for Wanted, I went into the theater expecting nothing more than some run-of-the-mill action flick. I was not a huge fan of the concept of spinning/turning bullets. The only pull factor for me to see the movie was Angelina Jolie.

Given my predesposition to the movie, I never thought I would sit down a write a review, much less a praise for the movie. However, soon after the beginning credits roled I was entranced into the story of the main character, an ordinary accountant, or so he thought.

After more plot twists than I could shake a stick at, I was sitting at the edge of my seat trying to comprehend who was good and who was bad. Ultimately, the movie was excellent. Though it may not win any awards for best acting it has a lot to offer. From ridicously sick car chases to numerous futuristic battles and weapons, this movie has almost as many effects as all three Matrix movies combined.

My final verdict is that the movie is well worth the money and time to watch it if you enjoy action flicks with extreme special effects. Did I mention that Angelina Jolie drove a Lada? GO SEE IT!
