Soul-killing glorification of senseless violence and killing

Rating: 2/10 (6 July 2008)

Technically excellent (especially the effects), but profoundly senseless, violent, disturbing and saddening. I t is not the NRA that should be blamed for senseless killing by desperate and vengeful losers, but rather Hollywood, and movies like this one. The answer to a sense of inferiority and a hopeless life is to get a gun, acquire power through it, and become a supper-assassin above any law. If you feel worthless and hopeless, follow Wesley's example. You will have power, money and all the sex you want. You will be "the man".
By the way, don't trust anyone. The world is corrupt and friends will double-cross you any time. You will have to kill your own father in the process, but you will eventually be free of all that.
The last words of the movie are especially disturbing. "What have YOU done lately?". Do you have a boss you hate? Do you have a girlfriend that cheats on you? Do you have a colleague who uses you? Get a gun and turn your life around.
I think it is time that we put some limits on the irresponsible and greed driven Hollywood, and introduce some kind of code to comply with.
