Finally, a movie worth my $7.00

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2008)

After seeing I Am Legend, Speed Racer and The Happening, I was beginning to think that maybe my only hope for a quality film this year would lie in the hands of WALL-E and The Dark Knight. However, thanks to Wanted, this is the first time in five or six months that I've left the theater feeling absolutely satisfied -- wishing I could live the life of an assassin.
Wanted is wonderful. There is no other word to describe the cinematography, comedy, action and acting in this picture. This movie does exactly what it sets out to do -- engage the audience in an action-packed, kick-ass story, with the occasional drama and comedic relief.
I haven't been this satisfied with an action movie since The Matrix.
