But when his father is killed, a mysterious associate named Sloan (Morgan Freeman) arrives, offering Wesley the chance to fill dad's shoes.

Wow, that was fun. A great action flick that definitely reminds us of how hot/fierce Angelina Jolie is. This movie reminds us of what a great resource comic books/graphic novels are for cinema. Wanted is a great hard summer action thrill ride, and all my expectations of such were met.
