Doormat Wesley Gibson is an office worker whose life is going nowhere. He meets an attractive woman named Fox and discovers that his recently murdered father - whom Wesley never knew - belonged to the Fraternity, a secret society of assassins which takes its orders from Fate itself. Fox and Sloan, the Fraternity's leader, teach Wesley, through intense training, to tap into dormant powers and hone his innate killing skills. Though he enjoys his newfound abilities, he begins to suspect that there is more to the Fraternity than meets the eye.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Bekmambetov's movie evaporates pretty quickly after it's consumed.

Wanted is too bloody, too over the top, too silly, and too special effects driven. It's also excessively entertaining and fun.

It's made for fans of films that really just want to see some great visuals, some amazing sequences and some terrific performances.

A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.

I've watched a movie that, while fiercely entertaining, made me fear for the emotional health of my gender. You have a problem with that?
