VISIT deusexmachinafilm.blogspot.com FOR MORE REVIEWS! Timur Bekmambetov, director of the Russian fantasy &#39;Night Watch&#39; and it&#39;s sequel &#39;Day Watch&#39;, makes his Hollywood debut with the release of &#39;Wanted&#39;, a film loosely adapted from the comic books of the same name. The premise; everyman Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is torn from his monotonous life in order to follow in his fathers footsteps, joining The Fraternity, a league of super-assassins.<br/><br/>McAvoy is thrown into action at the deep end, an actor we are used to seeing play mostly strong character roles, at first seems an unlikely action hero. But the Scot embraces it well, his transition from office loser to super-assassin is seamless, a performance we have come to expect from a man destined for Oscar greatness. Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman also provide solid support as Fox and Sloan respectively, adding A-List appeal to the blockbuster. Sadly, however, the casts&#39; strong performances are about the limit to this films believability as the plot becomes so far-fetched that you simply pass caring.<br/><br/>Wanted sacrifices a potentially intriguing plot in favour of action, succumbing to the now irresistible urge of a plot twist (and a thoroughly predictable one at that) to give the story any life whatsoever. One cannot help but feel that the film could have been so much more had it struck the balance between it&#39;s visuals and it&#39;s narrative more effectively. There really isn&#39;t much to the story whatsoever, what does exist spirals so far out of control that the final scenes become utterly irrelevant and at some points laughable (exploding rats, anyone?).<br/><br/>The film&#39;s bias towards action ahead of plot may on the one hand be it&#39;s downfall, but on the other perhaps it&#39;s saving grace. The film certainly looks beautiful and the action flows flawlessly, each sequence building at a perfect pace with the climax to said sequences never disappointing. Wanted can also boast it&#39;s own signature action shots, following bullets forwards and backwards through the heads of the hapless targets is brutal yet brilliant and the &#39;pulsating camera&#39; is innovative if not slightly headache-inducing.<br/><br/>Where Wanted quite clearly would like to be compared to, and reach the heights of a film like &#39;The Matrix&#39;, it really struggles to get anywhere near. It can be more accurately compared to a copy of Heat Magazine; it has the glossy exterior and the big stars, but look a little closer and there&#39;s no real substance and will just be tossed aside and forgotten about by next week.<br/><br/>Verdict: Whether it be car chases, curving bullets or Angelina Jolie&#39;s naked behind; Wanted certainly looks superb. It may not hold your attention to the very end, but a decent, if not forgettable watch. THREE STARS OUT OF FIVE
Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a loser. He hates his job, his boss abuses him verbally, his best friend is sleeping with his girlfriend, and he has no money. This is just a short list of the problems that Wesley faces which, thanks to the power of pills, he is able to manage somewhat. His life is a empty shell and he drifts through the days as if he were in a daze.<br/><br/>However, one night everything changes. When a beautiful woman, who is later known as Fox (Angelina Jolie) &quot;saves&quot; him from an assassination attempt, Wesley finds his life turned upside down. It is then that he will learn the true meaning of fate and what it means to be a man.<br/><br/>Sounds good, right? Well, the problem is that once Wanted reaches the point of no return and Wesley discovers who is supposed to be, Wanted then does a very unfortunate thing. Instead of using a good story with interesting characters to drive the movie, Wanted uses the tired idea of having CGI effects to tell the events of Wesley&#39;s transformation. Granted, Wanted is a summer movie and one expects such films to be over the top compared to past season movies. The problem though is that this is easily overdone and whatever story once existed is ignored for the sake of explosions and impossible chases.<br/><br/>A another example would be the curving bullet scenes. Ignoring the laws of physics (we are never told how such thing can be done despite hints of a special power that a few have), Wanted relies on effects like this to amaze and to drive certain plot ideas. This is great but the whole movie cannot use this single idea to make the movie worth watching. This is portrayed as the pinnacle of the Franternity members&#39;s powers but we don&#39;t have enough to go on to believe that. <br/><br/>There is little reason to go into the details of Wanted, and that includes the twist, because there isn&#39;t much to tell. This is too bad because there were hints of some interesting ideas like the question of fate and free will. Are we responsible for our actions? Is it moral to kill 1 to save a 1,000 as Fox tells Wesley? And what about this secret order known as the Fraternity? Lead by Sloan (Morgan Freeman) we are not told enough about the origins and working of the Fraternity to really care. How was it formed? We know it trusts a loom for a secret language but how has the group survived for so long without being detected? Once more a good movie would have told us these details instead of focusing only on CGI.<br/><br/>CGI effects do not make a great movie. Wanted, like so many others, is entertaining but not to the level of being remembered years from now.<br/><br/>6/10
Not as dark as its source material, Wanted works exceptionally on its own terms. McAvoy crashes the A-list, Jolie finally gets to be as big a star on screen as she has been in print, and Bekmambetov proves the most exciting action-oriented emigré since John Woo.
Wanted is loosely based on a comic book miniseries of the same name by Scottish graphic novelist Mark Millar, with art by J.G. Jones, published in 2003 and 2004 by Top Cow as part of Millar&#39;s creator-owned line known as Millarworld. American screenwriting partners, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, adapted the comics into the original screenplay, which was revised in part by screenwriters Chris Morgan and Dean Georgaris. Wesley Gibson (<a href="/name/nm0564215/">James McAvoy</a>) and the Fox (<a href="/name/nm0001401/">Angelina Jolie</a>) have made the transition to film largely unchanged, the only major differences being their appearance (Wesley being originally modeled on <a href="/name/nm0004896/">Eminem</a>, and the Fox on <a href="/name/nm0000932/">Halle Berry</a>). Wesley&#39;s boss, girlfriend and best friend are also largely unchanged. However, as the main plotline of the comic books (in which all of the main characters are actually supervillains modeled on DC characters) has been altered, many other characters were re-imagined or cut entirely from the film, examples being: (1) Dr. Solomon Seltzer (a short, bald super-scientist and friend to Wesley&#39;s father) becomes Sloan (<a href="/name/nm0000151/">Morgan Freeman</a>); (2) Mr. Rictus (an evil, ghoul-faced murderer) becomes the assassin Cross (<a href="/name/nm0470981/">Thomas Kretschmann</a>) and is also referenced in the film as an assassin killed by Cross; and (3) The Killer (famed assassin and Wesley&#39;s father, modeled after <a href="/name/nm0000169/">Tommy Lee Jones</a>) becomes Mr. X (<a href="/name/nm0641244/">David O&#39;Hara</a>). There are significant changes from the comic book.<br/><br/><ul><li>Perhaps the most significant change is the underlying purpose of The Fraternity. In the comic, The Fraternity are a secret group of supervillains with an array of powers and they behave as supervillains would be expected to: committing crimes and killing people. In the movie The Fraternity is a secret guild of assassins who work to maintain order in the world by assassinating evil people. The film portrays them in a far more positive light than the book.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The book is far more vulgar than the movie and revels in pushing boundaries of taste in terms of violence and sexuality. In the book characters talk much more matter-of-factly about topics such as murder, rape, pedophilia, and bestiality.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The backstory of the film is entirely different from the book. In the comic a group of supervillains murdered all the superheroes and erased their existence from reality. In the film a group of medieval weavers-turned-assassins founds the Fraternity to maintain order.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Most of the characters were wholly invented for the film. While Fox and Wesley make the transition largely unchanged Wesley&#39;s father is almost completely different from how he was portrayed in the book, Mr X, Sloan, The Russian, and the Gunsmith (<a href="/name/nm0996669/">Common</a>) are complete inventions. The Repairman (<a href="/name/nm0912938/">Marc Warren</a>) is an expansion of an unnamed character who appears in a few panels in the book, and The Butcher (<a href="/name/nm0049079/">Dato Bakhtadze</a>) is created from a scene in the book where Wesley himself is sent to work in a slaughterhouse to help desensitize him.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The plot is dramatically changed. While the introduction and Wesley&#39;s training are very similar the plot of the comic involves intrigue between different factions of super villains while the film deals with the efforts to apprehend one rogue assassin. In addition the film focuses far more on Wesley&#39;s quest to avenge his father. While the book version of Wesley is interested in knowing who killed his father it is not a driving aspect of his character.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>Scenes of Wesley&#39;s training are greatly expanded in the film.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The film version of Wesley is considerably nicer and more sympathetic than the comic version.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The film includes far more moral conflict about the nature of what The Fraternity does than the comic book.</li></ul> Derek Haas and Michael Brandt have already been hired to write by Universal, but the sequel has been in development hell for the since 2010 or so. The song is called &quot;The Little Things&quot;, and is sung by the film&#39;s composer, Danny Elfman. No, but there are a couple of interesting shots that give clues about the development of the plot. One of them is when Wesley leaves his apartment early in the film, he tries to straighten a sign on a pole warning about rats. That sign is posted over another one reading &quot;Your fathers&#39;s&quot;. Following the scene, the camera focuses on the apartment where it&#39;s later revealed that this is where his real father lived, thus, composing the message: &quot;Your father&#39;s apartment&quot;. The scenes with the Russian also give clues, since he seems to be the only true friend among the weavers. He ultimately gives Wesley the key to achieve his father&#39;s objective by showing him about the combination of peanut butter and plastic explosives, and saying &quot;imagine if you had a thousand&quot;.
