For those who say that there is no good action movie coming out nowadays, I can recommend an action movie with a good story blended with science fiction and a successful shooting. The cast is directly proportional to the quality of the movie.
It successfully contains all of the specified Action, Adventure and Crime genres.
If you want a breathless action, this is a movie you should definitely watch. Car scenes, conflict scenes, accident scenes are simply wonderful. It is really one of the best fiction and action-packed movies I have watched for a long time. I found it very successful and I definitely recommend it to those who will watch it very late like me. Believe me, it is a movie that you will enjoy watching and you will think that your time is not wasted.

The film follows Wesley Gibson (McAvoy), a frustrated and aimless young man who discovers that he is the son of a professional assassin and has inherited his father's skills. He is recruited into a secret society of assassins known as the Fraternity, led by Sloan (Freeman) and Fox (Jolie). Wesley is trained by the Fraternity to hone his innate abilities and become a skilled killer.
As Wesley becomes more adept at his new profession, he finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and danger as he uncovers the Fraternity's true motives and the dark secrets of his own past. Along the way, he confronts his own demons and learns to embrace his destiny as a killer.
The film's special effects are top-notch, with impressive visuals that enhance the action and make it feel more real. Jolie is particularly effective as the seductive and deadly Fox, while Freeman brings a sense of gravitas to his role as the leader of the Fraternity. McAvoy is also convincing as the reluctant hero, showing range and vulnerability as he struggles with his newfound role as a killer.
Wanted is an entertaining and enjoyable film that will appeal to fans of action movies and comic book adaptations. It's not a particularly deep or thoughtful film, but it provides plenty of thrills and excitement that make it worth watching. If you're in the mood for a fast-paced, action-packed film that doesn't take itself too seriously, Wanted is definitely worth checking out.
Wanted also boasts a strong supporting cast. Alongside Freeman and Jolie, the film features a number of talented actors in key roles, including Thomas Kretschmann as the villainous Cross and Common as the Fraternity's second-in-command. The chemistry between these actors helps to add depth and complexity to the film's characters, making them more than just one-dimensional villains or heroes.
Bekmambetov, who is known for his work on the Russian vampire film Night Watch, brings a distinctive and highly stylized aesthetic to Wanted. The film is filled with striking imagery and elaborate set pieces, including a scene in which Wesley fights his way through a skyscraper under construction, and another in which he chases an assassin through a crowded train station. These scenes are both visually impressive and thrilling, and help to make Wanted stand out from other action films.
