Review of Wanted

Wanted (2008)
1/10
Poor plagiarism
29 May 2009
Like something you would get if you removed half of Tarantino's brain and told him to do a remake of Rocky. An insult to whatever genre it contends it is in. Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman put in their two weeks and produced clichés the thirteen year olds would consider profound.

The plot was derivative at best – flat out plagiaristic for the most part. And the meek office boy eventually stands up to his horrid boss and says, "Shut the #$$@ up!" Who woulda thunk? Like finding tires on an automobile.

Lots of borrowed special effects that will make you long for radio – unless you are thirteen, in which case you will think them way cool. Check out Rocky, Kill Bill, Karate Kid and you will see where this was stolen from – and this is like stealing three great sculptures, welding them together and calling it original art.

Lots of stylistic blood – yippee!
