Wanted
on DVD
(2007)
Starring: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie
Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Certificate: 
This film managed to take such things I though would be cool as a child such as people being shot in the head and bullets colliding with each other and proceeded to make them.... boring. The worst crime of them all. Apart from scene early on about Wesley's Father (Or is he!?!?!) the films just cribs all of it's ideas from superior films (Empire Strikes Back, Full Contact, The Matrix, Minority Report) and doesn't bother to give them an energy at all, seemingly hoping all the special effects will do the job. The films doesn't even fall into so bad it's good territory like Vantage Point where you can laught at, mock and denegrate to the point where it's possible to actually ENJOY the film on a different level. Apart from that one great balls-to-the-wall scene about Wesley's father I mentioned above (Which makes everything that follows pale in comparison) it's just terribly mind-numbing and un-enjoyable.
