NY Times: Angelina Will Bring Guys "to Their Knees" in Wanted

The same New York Times critic who dissed the Sex and the City movie digs Angelina Jolie in the new action thriller Wanted.

"Ms. Jolie has been perfectly cast as a super-scary, seemingly amoral assassin named (wait for it) Fox," Manohla Dargis writes.

(See photos of Angelina Jolie's most memorable action roles.)

"Few American actresses, especially those with such pin-skinny arms, can make beating a guy to the ground look so easy and, yeah, man, like fun," the critics adds.

"With her mean smiley-sneer and snug clothes, her heels and hieroglyphics, she cuts the kind of disciplinarian figure who can bring antsy boys of all ages to their knees or at least into their theater seats."

(James McAvoy echoed Dargis' sentiment. He recently told Usmagaizne.com that his co-star is "brilliant" in the movie and that Jolie "is so at home" in action roles.)

Dargis wasn't as enthused about the film, however, saying it was merely "a couple of ideas recycled from The Matrix and Fight Club.

    Angie is beautiful, strong and smart. Whoever writes those silly ugly notes about her is just jealous otherwise why would you be here reading and writing about her. And for Sadee Mae that film you mentioned was Fox Fire. One of her first works and very talented as all her roles actually are.

    When I first saw her (forgive me I can't remember the name of the film) something with the word "fox or foxes" I think.I said to my friend "this kid is fierce in her acting ability and the most gorgeous child I've ever seen. She is going to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.I was somewhat correct. However for whatever reason I can'
