Wanted....

She's stunning and Wanted definitely gave me my fill of Angie. Other than the ultra-violence, bullet time, quirky stop-motion filming, Wanted made me feel like I was watching Fight Club all over again. Which in itself is not a bad thing. However, it's been done and it was done well -- Wanted was just slow on the draw (by several years). It had more action packed into it than I thought possible and made my brain tickle pleasantly with the story around an underground society. But again, Fight Club. I couldn't get over that and let it be for what it was.

Plus, "The Fraternity" is a ridiculous name for an uber cool guild of assassins.

The Mr. was shocked at the ending dialogue - Wesley's ideas on "taking back his life". Right/wrong....giving the wrong person the wrong idea of how to "deal with" a cheating ex or a job that sucks or.....you get the idea. Do they need Hollywood to give them the wrong idea ? Will this movie push someone over the edge of which they have not traveled yet ?

For what it's worth, I found this over-the-top violence so much less traumatic than say.....I Am Legend or even Natural Born Killers. (both which had me in the fetal position, sucking my thumb and sobbing softly). Sensitive I am.

ETA: Angie is entirely TOO skinny in this movie. While she looks stunning, she could stand a few more pounds on her frame. Her arms resemble those of the next child she plans to adopt.

Oh no she didn't.....
