Wanted (2008)
6/10

Can you combine Matrix, Elektra and Equilibrium into a completely pointless exercise that looks good but makes no sense? That was the question asked by some money makers to the director of the movie. Yes, siree, I can!

The film starts with a Matrix like scene, continues with the average man learning he is extraordinary, then switches to the group of highly trained assassins that only take "good" missions assigned to them by "fate" and continues to ridiculous gun scenes, one in which a bullet has a circular trajectory and kills everyone including the shooter. And it's all in the wrists, ladies and gentlemen!

Bottom line: stay away from this simulacrum of a movie. It's nothing but peanut butter and explosive.
