wanted (2008). directed by timur bekmambetov.


this is what happens when timur bekmambetov of day watch (2006) fame comes to hollywood. need serious, serious suspension of disbelief. if it wasn't for jolie it probably fell apart like the windows-breaking-in-millions scene.

the set pieces are good though, great action sequences with fancy camera work; that must be credited to bekmambetov. acting wise, well, try not to fall asleep. then again nobody would have watched it if the casts are say, a bunch of unknown russians. replace that with hollywood-ers.

don't know if it has in mind to be something like fight club (1999), may be just a glossy version of it and that's all.

Wesley: [to audience] What the fuck have you done lately?

don't think he meant it when he said that.

i'm talking about wanted (2008) by the way.
