Wanted - What the Wachowskis Should Be Directing

Timur Bekmambetov had reformulated the Vampire clan genre, and in his first American effort since 2002, he tries to reinvent the action films that the Wachowski Sisters pioneered. His premise behind "Wanted" and its "whoa" worth action sounds cooler because who needs
Agent Smith when you have Morgan Freeman with a potty-mouth.

1000 years ago, a group of weavers found a language in the thread counts. Since a loom cannot think, the weavers determined that the message was fate ordering them to kill the evil doers it would list. They formed The Fraternity, a creed of assassins who believe if they kill one person, they may save a thousand.

The top assassin of the group has been murdered by the rogue member, Cross (Thomas Kretschmann). To save the order, Sloan (Morgan Freeman) and Fox (Angelina Jolie) determine that training the unknowing son of the deceased, Wesley (James McAvoy), is the best chance to stop this threat. Will Wesley be able to abandon the exciting world of account manager, and save the world, or is he working towards becoming Cross's next victim?
