As the impresario behind gravity-defying Russian blockbuster Night Watch, its inevitable that Hollywood would come calling for Timur Bekmambetov. With a studio budget and an international cast, including two Oscar winners, Timur cooks up a Hong Kong-styled actioner bursting with fast cars and big guns. Our unlikely hero is mild-mannered Chicago accountant Wesley Gibson (Atonements James McAvoy), whose father died when he was a tot. Wesley never learned to stand up for himself, and his girlfriend, boss, and best buddy all take advantage until the seductive Fox (Angelina Jolie) rescues him from a sharpshooter named Cross (The Pianists Thomas Kretschmann). After which, she whisks him away to a mansion on the edge of town to meet the other members of the Fraternity, where leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman) informs Wesley that Cross, a rogue agent, executed his father. Sloan believes Wesley has the goods to take him out, so he undergoes the Fraternitys brutal training regimen (Marc Warren and Common dish up some of the abuse). When hes ready, Sloan sends him out to fulfill his duty, but matters become complicated when Wesley finds out someone isnt telling the truth, leading our former milquetoast to exact an elaborate revenge. For those whove been following McAvoys career to date, Wanted will surely come as a surprise. In adapting Mark Millars comic series, Timur offers buckets of blood and a smidgen of depth, but fans of The Matrix and Mr. and Mrs. Smith will want to give this one a look. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
