Wanted 78% B+ (R)

Tagline: Choose your destiny.

Rated R (18SX) for blood, violence, pervasive language and sexuality.

Watch this if you like action-packed, adrenalin-pumping, fast-paced car chase scenes, bloody fist fights, modern bullet flying-dodging drama with lots of body count. I find this comic book adaptation very entertaining especially with all the non-stop action scenes, seamless CGI coupled with a simple story line that delivers a very basic message.

The message: Everyone is special in their own way, even though you think you are a nobody now. It's up to you to realise your own special ability and take control of your own destiny. Also, try to think out-of-the-box as everything has its flaws even though it that has been practised for thousands of years. Also watch who you choose to believe in as there will always be a "fox under a sheepskin".

And having the beautiful Angelina Jolie in the movie is a bonus. Just don't add moral and logic into the equation and you'll enjoy this Russian-directed (Timur Bekmambetov) American movie.
