Wanted

Wanted has a poorly written plot. okay, it's downright dumb. (it also appears to have very little to do with the comic book, which makes me want to read it.)

but Angelina Jolie shoots guns. it is Ultra-Violent and i love the way that Timur Bekmambetov handles action. (here's a famous bit from Day Watch)

and i love me some over-the-top wish-fulfillment fantasy. and i love neutral evil protagonists. and i'm not tired of the following-the-flying-bullets conceit yet.

three exploding rats out of five.
