Wanted

>> Monday, January 5, 2009

A young man named Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) works at a dead-end desk job with an overbearing boss, takes anti-anxiety medication for panic attacks, and has a live-in girlfriend who cheats on him with his best friend. He speaks of how his father left when he was just one week old. He wonders if when he was born his father looked into his eyes and saw a failure.
Elsewhere, an assassin called "Mr. X" (David O'Hara) is targeted by a group of snipers, whom he easily dispatches. However, he finds himself standing over an 'X' on the ground, and is killed by a rogue named Cross (Thomas Kretschmann) with an untraceable bullet. During one of his trips to the pharmacy, Gibson is told by a mysterious woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie) about how his father was killed, and that the killer, Cross, is behind him. Cross and Fox engage in a spectacular shoot-out followed by a car chase in the streets of Chicago.
Fox brings Gibson to the headquarters of The Fraternity, a thousand-year-old secret society of assassins. The group's leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), invites Gibson to follow in his father's footsteps as an assassin. To show him what he's capable of, Gunsmith (another assasin and member of The Fraternity) holds a gun to Gibson's head and has him shoot the wings off several flies. Gibson has a panic attack and does as asked. Sloan explains that his heart beats around 400 times a minute when he's stressed, sending massive amounts of adrenaline into his bloodstream, and that he can learn to control it. Gibson is initially reluctant and returns to work, only to finally snap after being shown a new possible life; his online bank account balance is over 3 million dollars. He tells off his boss in front of the entire office. On his way out, he hits his friend across the face with a keyboard. Fox is waiting outside to take him back to the Fraternity headquarters - an unassuming textile mill.
After much training, Gibson is shown the Loom of Fate, a loom ,or instrument of god, that gives the names of the targets through binary code hidden in weaving errors of the fabric. Like god and the Apostles, those the loom identifies are apparently destined to cause tragedy in the future; thus, killing them spares those the person would have harmed, so assassins are doing good. But only Sloan sees and interprets the names that "Fate" wants to kill, and after today, Gibson will never again be allowed in the room.
Alone with Fox, Gibson expresses doubt he can kill people. Fox shares a story about "a little girl" (herself) whose father, a judge handling a racketeering case, was burned alive by a hired killer (the target) as she was forced to watch. The man then burned his initials on her neck. If someone had killed the hired killer, as the loom had ordered, her father wouldn't have died. Preventing such tragedy is now her mission.
After several routine missions and a chance meeting with Cross, in which Cross shoots him in the arm with a deliberately traceable bullet, Gibson becomes impatient and demands to be allowed to avenge his father. Sloan grants his wish, saying that Cross's name had come up on the loom, but then secretly gives Fox a mission to kill Gibson, saying that Gibson's name had come up as well.
