Wanted

Lol..I waited for *someone* to watch it first before writing a review on this. Nevertheless, for unsuspecting people, warning : spoilers ahead..

Wanted begins on a humorous note regarding fat bosses and boring jobs although it's based on a serious theme called assassination. The protagonist's life was sorry enough and of course, he was glad in a way when he was introduced into an adrenaline pumping shady underworld organization. The storyline's a little corny but it does have a good twist in the end. Cross turns out to be father and not the guy at the beginning of the show. Wanted is a cool movie not because of its storyline but the physics and action motion that is involved in it. It was the physics that made the movie worthwhile watching eventhough one may not fancy its story progression.

The trademark of the movie is of course, the curling bullet. Everytime I watched a bullet curl, I always think of Owen Hargreaves/David Beckham curling freekicks. It's so distracting..haha. Some may think this is just Hollywood, but curling bullets are no myths. If I'm not wrong, the bullets must be of spherical (round..just like the old ancient times) instead of the modern pointed ones. In any case, the fighting scenes choreography is good and the train derailing scene just takes the audiences' breath away. For the acting part, I just admire Morgan Freeman. Gosh, he just has the commanding aura and is so eloquent in his speech. Top class performance from him. I'm looking forward to see him in the Dark Knight too..lol.

In some ways, I think that the Hitman movie should have injected a bit of those projectile physics for drama's sake. Overall, "Wanted" is a great movie to watch if you want to experience the adrenaline rush. Just don't think too much about how a bullet can go 360 degress and giving people headshots and finally boomerang back to the shooter. And the last words of our protagonist is classic : What the f*** have you done lately?
