We Want The Light (DVD)

Wanted...for my DVD collection!

Advantages: Just an overall superb film in all ways
Disadvantages: Nothing

I never seem to get to the cinema lately, so I make sure to hire certain films that I am desperate to see from the library as soon as they are released. 'Wanted' was one of these films, and both my other half and I were really keen to see it as soon as possible, so when I did a shift at the library I quickly grabbed it on my way out! Daddy2harry was rather pleased when I returned home, and we sat down last night hoping for a very exciting watch...and boy did this film deliver! Wesley Gibson is a bored Accounts Manager, working in a job he hates, with people he hates, and he is sick of life. But things are about to take a rather exciting turn for Wesley when he is approached by a group of Assassins called The Fraternity who tell him his father was the best assassin ever, and that he's just been killed.

Review of Wanted (DVD)

Wanted!!

Advantages: Good characters, scenes
Disadvantages: Bloody

Wanted is a 2008 action film staring Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and James McAvoy, produced by Universal Pictures. It is actually based on a comic book miniseries. This film was totally not what I expected and you definitely have to suspend reality in your mind to watch this film. Having never read the comic or even knew it existed until after watching the film I didn't know what to expect and it is definitely an interesting concept.

James McAvoy plays Wesley Gibson, described on the DVD box as a cube-dwelling hypochondriac with a cheating girlfriend and a boss he hates! I really like him as an actor and he plays this part really well, sweating when he gets in situations he doesn't like etc. He is kind of geeky ...

Review of Wanted (DVD)

Their World, Her Rules, His Destiny, It's Wanted

Advantages: A great film to watch with your partner, a film for both sexes
Disadvantages: Not much at all, the ending was a bit predictable but other than that nothing much

We got this DVD from tescodvdrental over the weekend and sat down to watch it last night. I had quite a few people tell me that this was a great film, but again I was a bit sceptic because of the story. Read on The Plot Wesley Gibson is a bored accounts manager, he has a very boring life and he's too afraid to do anything wrong. When Wesley is picking up his anxiety pills, he is approached by a group of Assassins called The Fraternity. Wesley finds out the man that left him as a baby, left him for a reason, as he is one of the best assassins that ever lived and has now been killed by a man called Cross. Wesley is trained to kill the man that killed his father and learns to be one of the best assassins alongside his father. This means finding out he has the same powers as his father did, he has the same abilities and speed ...
