THe ultimate adventure film of the summer:WANTED

On Saturday night, some friends and I decided to go to a lovely outdoor cinema theatre and enjoy a film it the cool breeze. We went to AIGLI Tellas in Zappeio. This is a fantastic theatre surrounded by the National Gardens in downtown Athens. It's awesome because you have the opportunity to enjoy a film in a very greek way:Eating a souvlaki with a cold beer or glass of wine.
We decided to watch WANTED starring Angelina Jolie, James McAvory(cute)and the very talented Morgan Freeman. The film is about a young man named Wesley who feels like he hasn't accomplished anything in his life until he meets Fox and he is inducted into a fraternity of elite assassins of fate with superhuman abilities to kill . They can pull off Matrix-style stunts such as shoot their target as their car is flipping upside down and curve bullets so they can hit their targets with precision. The odd thing is that they get their orders from a loom. Yes you heard me correctly, Fate decides who has to die so as others can live.
This film is visually exciting and the actors are very persuasive in their roles but the plot was a bit confusing while some scenes where quite gruesome. If you are a fan of adventure and violence then you'll love it otherwise go watch Mama Mia:-)

Personally, I'd stick with Mamma Mia! Open air cinemas are great though, whatever you're watching :-)
