  • Wanted

    McAvoy plays the ingenue well, and Jolie reprises the coy killer with a conscience. Rigorous training (though applied fraternally) is presented as the most compelling motivation to improve, and I suppose is a giveaway - don't trust a mentor who bloodies you in the process. Though distinctions are made, violence is violence, especially when slowed to the pace of premeditation.
