this film is about forgetting all sense of reason and logic, which is alot easier than you might think. based on a graphic novel (so i've been told but correct me if i'm wrong) the ridiculous bullet curving and such just ad to the amazing world created in this film. its an action backed extravaganza of shoot'em ups and stunts. james macavoy was an interesting and bold choice for casting, but the gamble pays off.
for some popcorn fun you cannot go wrong with wanted, plus it stars morgan freeman, thats enough for me!

As long as you ignore the odd blatant plot hole (for instance McAvoy wiping out an entire train load of people shortly after protesting against killing one innocent man!) then this film is really enjoyable and becomes a bit of a guilty pleasure! The bending bullets look awesome, the action is non-stop and angelina jolie looks hot...all the hallmarks for a winning combination for me! The only reason for 4 rather than 5 is that the storyline is a bit too loose and far-fetched at times but as long as you overlook this and concentrate on the adrenaline-fuelled ation then you should enjoy this. A must for action-junkies, but probably not for those who like to pick holes in story lines.

Looks brilliant, but there's no logic whatsoever. So Wesley worries he's doing the right thing killing his targets, but thanks to him every man, woman and child on a train dies and the audience is still meant to care about his so-called problems?! Er, hello? Worst plot-hole ever. Looks brilliant.
