Claudia PuigIt would be understandable to be leery of an action thriller that opens portentously with the words "A thousand years ago " and then goes on to tell of an ancient "clan of weavers" who formed a murderous fraternity. But this kind of inadvertent humor is combined with an intentionally snarky attitude and dark comedy to make Wanted (* * 1/2 out of four) more enjoyable than it ought to be.

A scrawny, squeaky-voiced cubicle drone, he is henpecked by his girlfriend, cuckolded by his best friend and bullied by his petty tyrant boss. It's enough to make you want to kill som...

According to Wesley's own voiceover, he's an "insignificant asshole" who is "finding it hard to be keen on about anything these days. In points the at best thing that I do suffering about is not caring thither anything." This is a ordinary ample scenario. What doesn't roughly come off to men like Wesley is the new chum of Angelina Jolie as Fox, who tells him his was part of the Fraternity, a stall of wonderful-assassins, and that he ought to now assume the wrap.
