^now THAT sounds like Conchaga!
SPOILERS GALORE ABOUT WANTED
ok, we went to see Wanted last night, thought it did indeed kick ass, - and yes Im the only one at TK - loved la Jolie in it! Even with those skinny arms, she pulls off the assassin role, and was well-served as a cold killer who as a little girl watched someone burn her dad to dead before her eyes.
As usual Morgan Freeman plays it just enough.
James McAvoy shirtless [ there is a god!] has just earned a new spot in my collection, and he can act, too! Those anxiety attacks! And he did enough of a job convincing me that he could unleash the "caged lion inside" - when he goes beserk in the factory, he's done a credible job of making it believable he's actually capable of it...I hate those 'downtrodden pussy instantly morphing into efficient killing machine' characters - wut? The plot did a good job of showing the process without getting boring.
Only thing I did NOT get (no rewind in the theatre): WHY was the Russian guy there when Wesley had run after Cross under the subway overpass? I mean this was a spontaneous chase when Wesley spotted his father after he (W) went to his apartment to retireve the gun, right? Did I miss something?
Nice twisty ending too.
