Wanted is a hyperkinetic comic book fusion of the Terminator, Matrix and Fight Club. So much so that some sequences feel like a direct lift from those films. The story follows the Campbell monomyth template: a young hero is living an ordinary life until he is called to reluctant greatness via a series of training vignettes.The generally well staged action scenes and sober fake ending make up for a series of fairly obvious twists and limited exposition. Given its age, it's a remarkably grainy film on blu-ray.
Verdict: Cast are clearly having a ball with this amusing comic book movie.
