Didn't Love it....

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2008)

I WANTED to love this film after all the reviews were so positive, but then came the film in Century City, Los Angeles, with a friend, on the 4th of July, and what a disappointment. Act One had too many scenes of developing the male lead, and ONLY when Angelina Jolie hit the screen with her incredible smirk and body, that WANTED became a bit more interesting.
Yes, some scenes were bloody, the car chases, well, "seen one car chase and you've seen them all", the sets as dark as the characters, but unless Jolie is on the screen, WANTED is nothing more than a frat boy flick, with dialog that is trite and dull. However, WANTED when the action kicks into gear, Jolie in the lead, then the price of seeing this film is worthwhile. Otherwise, skip this film.
