Wanted (2008) Storyline
From an ordinary office worker to a deadly assassin, Wanted thrusts viewers into a hidden world where fate and skill collide. Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a disillusioned young man stuck in a mundane life — until he’s recruited by the mysterious Fox (Angelina Jolie) to join the Fraternity, a secret society of elite assassins.
Guided by his enigmatic mentor Sloan (Morgan Freeman), Wesley learns to harness superhuman reflexes, master impossible shots, and follow a creed where “the bullet always finds its target.” But as Wesley uncovers secrets about the Fraternity’s true nature, he must decide whether to embrace his dark destiny or fight back.
Wanted blends jaw-dropping action sequences with a gritty, comic-book-inspired story of transformation, vengeance, and free will.

Wanted (2008) Cast & Crew
Wanted (2008) Review - 7/10 Rating
Wanted delivers high-octane thrills and a visually inventive take on the assassin genre that comic fans will appreciate. James McAvoy shines as the relatable underdog turned lethal force, while Angelina Jolie dominates the screen with charisma and physicality.
The film’s standout features are its stylized action sequences — especially the iconic bullet-curving shots and slow-motion combat scenes — which elevate it beyond your typical shoot-’em-up. Director Timur Bekmambetov’s kinetic style brings a unique energy and flair that keeps you hooked.
However, the story is sometimes thin and predictable, and the film glosses over deeper character development in favour of flashy set pieces. Still, Wanted is an entertaining ride for anyone who loves action-packed, comic-book-inspired cinema with a darker edge.
