Wanted

(2008)
A frustrated office worker learns that he is the son of a
professional assassin, and that he shares his father's superhuman
killing abilities.
Frustrated? The worm definitely turns in this one!
By the way I took some liberty by putting this into the crime
thriller section... In my defense though? Gunplay, kidnapping,
and of course murder! So even though they can curve bullets and
other cool stuff, it’s still crime!
This is definitely one of those movies that no one went to see
when it was in the theaters (raising hand and shouting “I did”)
but when it hit drive-ins and ultimately DVD? The fan base for
this cult classic grew so fast that they have actually been talking
about making a part 2!
But that is kind of a moot point if you have not seen part 1...
Great movie to test out that surround sound system you just put
in!
This movie is definiely a must see before you leave this earth!
