When I discovered that Netflix was becoming the new streaming home for ‘Wanted’ this week, I was going to declare it one of “ultimate guilty pleasure” watches, but on reflection, I’m not even slightly sorry about adoring this loud-and-brash action-thriller movie that plays out like a graphic novel come to life.
This is a movie where elite assassin in training Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) can curve bullets around corners, shoot the wings off a common household fly and smack his smarmy best friend (played by Chris Pratt) in the face with a keyboard, only for the cascading keys to spell out “f**k you” in midair (the second “u” is represented by one of the guy’s teeth). It’s awesome!
