Wanted is one of those fast, furious action movies that catches you off guard every chance it gets.

It starts off with James McAvoy playing Wesley Gibson as a bumbling nobody walking through his daily existence as someone who doesn't know the core of who he is. By the end of the film, he is a violent, magnetic presence that you can't take your eyes off. You'll truly understand why he is "The Man".

Every second is riveting... from the training scenes in which Wesley gets the crack beat out of him by the Cook to Angelina Jolie showing him the ropes in a series of awesome assassin training missions. In particular, there's one funny scene where he's recuperating in a vat of molding and sputters, "I feel good!" that had the audience in hysterics.

In all honesty, this movie is symbolizes what all action movies should be. Fun, HOT, testosterone-fueled... PLUS you get to see that sweet little bum bum of Angelina Jolie's! What's not to love about this movie? Let's hope it scores at least a $125-150 million coup Doe' tat at the box office!

The movie starts off a bit slow in the first act with the exhibition of the weddings and them crashing it. The montage is supposed to be funny but at times, I found it boring and downright obnoxious and weird. It just didn't feel right. So I wasn't a fan of that part of the film. Towards the second act of the film when Vaughn speaks more, that's when the film kicks into overdrive. Vaughn is put into these situations that just make your cringe and feel sorry for the big lug. What comes out of his mouth is just FUNNY. The things he said had me in stitches. Nobody in this film comes close... well, except maybe Isla Fisher, the crazy bridesmaid Vaughn falls for... She stole some scenes as well. Owen Wilson was OK, but most of his scenes during the first and second act are just OK. The third act is where his character arc starts getting really funny. Other than that, Wedding Crashers is saved by Vince Vaughn and I hope to see his future comedic talent again soon.
