I enjoyed Wanted a whole heck of a lot. A lot of the reviews that say it's flawed but incredibly entertaining hit the nail on the head. It's a thrill ride. A bloody, nasty but exhilirating thrill ride.
There are 4 or 5 set pieces in the movie that are incredible. My personal fave is seeing the Repairman's fate. It my be my favorite scene of that type since Taye Digg's send off in Equilibrium. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "ravenadal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > First of all, here is my favorite paragraph about WANTED that I didn't > write: > > WANTED is kind of unintelligible and idiotic.
