I’ve been waiting for this movie for a long time. Not as long as Batman of course, but a long time. It started out as a comic. And let me be clear - it was possibly the most blood-soaked, profanity-filled, piece of literature I've ever read. The movie is much like the comic. It is not for everyone to be sure. But for those who like their movies violent, and filled with Matrix-like impossible stunts, this is your movie. Let me also be clear that like the comic it is not mindless like so many of its illegitimate cousins. Wanted comes with a moral. It has a reason for being. And if you have a moment to look past the bullets, blood and boobs you will find a tightly scripted story that speaks to how we're living our lives. This movie comments on what we're doing with the talents we've all been given. Wanted is not for everyone, but for those who enjoy this kind of movie it is well worth your time. I can easily say that for those people Wanted is worth paying full price.
