WANTED now playing at the Ritz and Village!



"Slams you to the back of your chair from the outset and scarcely lets up for the duration." - Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

"The action genre hasn't felt this fresh and alive since 1999 and the Wachowskis." - Joshua Tyler, CINEMA BLEND

"The two-fisted, double-barreled high-octane guilty pleasure summer action movie you've been waiting for." - James Rocchi, CINEMATICAL

Based upon Mark Millar’s explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov — creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series — WANTED tells the tale of one apathetic nobody’s transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice.

25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie).

When we first heard the premise for this film, we weren't sure if it was something we'd be into. Then we watched the trailer, and now WE CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

Tickets are available for the opening weekend, and are for sale right here.
