WANTED (2008) - July 16, 2008
That wasn't so good. Loosely based on Mark Millar's ultra-violent comic about a world taken over by supervillians, this was about a young man who finds out that his father was a member of a fraternity of assassins, and that he's inherited skills from his father that make him a killing machine. It's entertaining for a while, in a really over-the-top sort of way, but after a while it starts getting tiresome and seriously wears out its welcome. There are a couple of decent action sequences here, but for the most part they're bogged down by the director's relentless flashiness. **
