Anybody can kill someone if they’re standing right next to you (although our legal team is very keen to point out that you really, really shouldn’t, even if they are poking you). But to do it from a mile away is pretty damned impressive. So hats off to James McAvoy’s Wesley Gibson for the spectacular kill that closes Wanted, when he drills a sniper’s bullet through a donut about to be eaten by his shrill ex-boss, through an energy drink carried by his sack of shit former best friend, across a cityscape, and into the brain of Morgan Freeman’s treacherous bastard, Sloan – all seen, after the fact, in reverse. It mirrors, of course, the movie’s opening kill, but this just pips that for the sheer cockiness of McAvoy’s accompanying final line: "What the fuck have you done lately?"
