Wanted

I liked this movie. It wasn't my favorite, but I enjoyed it. I wouldn't go see it in theaters again (well... I can't think of any movie I'd go see in theaters again. I'm a patient gal, and movie tickets are hella expensive.) I wouldn't buy it but I think I might watch it again, if other people really wanted to. And it was the only choice.

It was funny at times, which I appreciated very much. The main character had enough complexity for me to care about his well-being. The plot was decent. However, I found asking questions such as, "How do those innocent, nameless characters deserve to have their car wrecked in a high-speed chase?", and then realized that I don't actually like action movies very much. That adds a lot of bias.

Funny how that worked out.

With that said, if you like action movies, you should like this one. I felt that towards the end, they tried a little too hard, plot-wise, and I think I would've ended the movie differently. But that's probably because of my opinions on the world, and action movies.

No, really, it was a good movie.
