Wanted: Movie Compendium












Rating: 5/5 stars.








So the disclaimer is that I actually saw this movie over the summer at the drive-in (it was a double feature with Wall-E). I recently rented a Blu-ray copy of this movie, and it is just as good the second time as the first. It is a very violent movie, so ladies use caution when watching it. This movie definately falls into the category of ridiculously unrealistic, fun action movies. The characters in this movie can bend the path of bullets and speed up their heart rates to become superhuman. Morgan Freeman also has a great role in this movie. He leads the secret Fraternity of assassins, telling them who to kill and when to do it. These assassins follow his orders without question, thus he's the pimp of the whole operation.

Besides Morgan Freeman ruling over all the pee-ons, there is the funny comments by the main character (the guy pointing the gun in the poster). He is fed up with life and in the climax of the movie, smacks his best friend in the face with a computer keyboard. The letters that fly off the keyboard spell a nice expletive, with the letter "u" being a tooth from the aforementioned friend. You might recognize the main character from a more family-friendly role as Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. He's a little less imposing with that girly scarf and umbrella. Overall, this movie features a faun shooting a lot of people, and a really cool car chase. Watch it!!
