Maybe you loved all of the Die Hards? Star Wars? Eastern Promises? The Bourne Identity? Perhaps Titanic, Willard, and/or Ben? Office Space? Princess Bride? Riverdance?
Then Wanted is the movie for you! There is a mysterious world only a few know about, with a mysterious mission, mysterious healing liquid, and mysterious Loom of Fate. There is a bored, Everyman-type office worker with a detestable boss who continually stops by his cubicle. There is a wise mentor and a tough mentor and a wily mentor and a skilled mentor and a hot mentor. There are kissing parts and revenge plots, foreign accents and castle-like fortresses, family revelations and unfaithful friends. There is a troubling lack of identity and a journey to seek a meaningful identity. There is mistaken identity. There is betrayal & double-crossing. There is traveling to a remote, historically significant place for answers. There is a dramatic train sequence and a dramatic underwater scene. There are rats. There are references to IKEA furniture and a wee bit of step dancing.
Oh, and there are fast cars and fancy shooting and lots of things blowing up & bleeding.
I loved it.
And it loved me.
