Worth seeing

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2008)

It's really hard to shoot films based on the cartoons and not to repeat some common features. Creators of Wanted have managed it: both storyline and acting look absolutely original. One can compare Wanted with Matrix, and in some case it's true: the movie is as stunning, unexpected and captivating as Wachovsky bros. early work was. Don't try to analyze what you see, while you are in the cinema, just watch and you'll feel yourself inside the constant action.
Bekambetov, who has started his shooting career from Russian TV-ads in early 1990-s, loved CGI and camera effects from the very beginning. Now, with a sufficient amount of Hollywood's money he realizes his early dream: CGI in Wanted isn't an addition to the storyline, but the storyline itself.
