One of the best action films I've seen since The Matrix

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2008)

If you're one of the many IMDb posters who hate this movie, then I can only assume you have no imagination, or you're just too uptight and stupid to appreciate something that dares to bend the rules as WANTED has done. Realism is out the window within the first few minutes of the film, which features some very impressive stunt work and some unique twists on typical action shots. But this film isn't really about realism. It's a cinematic treat that takes near orgasmic pleasure in it's beautifully crafted action sequences. Best of all, you can actually tell what's going on in the fight scenes. There are no traces of sloppy camera work masquerading as authenticity or documentary- style filming.
The movie never feels weighted down by it's grim subject matter. It's buoyed by subversive humor aimed at 9-5 stiffs, cheating girlfriends, bitchy bosses and the modern, emasculated man. In fact, the whole film is more of a treatise on not being anyone's bitch than it is about saving the world by killing people.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and sorely disappointed by the close-mindedness of a very vocal handful of IMDb reviewers. I feel sorry for you, trapped in your world were everything obeys the laws of physics and nothing makes you sit back and say "Holy s---! I've never seen that before!"
