A movie whose premise is, well, I really can't say that as it would be a huge spolier, let's just say it was the most inventive method of detrmining assassinees ever contrived. Totally unbelievble but so was the Matrix, which this reminded me of more than a little.
And yes, Jolie is a scene stealer.

Very well done. *** (out of ****)

I don't really see the relationship to "Wanted" but I think you'd really like "Shoot 'Em Up". - sjb 20:38:32 07/26/08 (4)

- Both are over the top and may be considered parodies on the action genre...(nt) - mkuller 17:33:38 07/27/08 (3)

    A couple of Joe Normals are taken by forces formerly unbeknownst to them, almost mythical in nature, and are taught to use skills they never dreamed of having. A lot more similarity than just over the top. The element of betrayal was much more strongly played out in Wanted as the head weaver (a black dude) was the instigator of betrayal whereas in the MAtrix the head dude was also black but the turncoat was a secondary character (IIRC).
