Religious Western Saying

Wanted, the trivialization of violence



One is already a bit old thread with the "seximbolismo" Angelina Jolie, so for a change, the reason for me to come to see "Wanted" was not her, but James McCavoy, which was very impressed by his performance in "The Last King of Scotland. " Another reason was that it seemed a good action movie and popcorn, and the third and last is that Keyser had warned me that not occurred to me to see her, which was an almost absolute guarantee that I would like it.
best thing you can say "Wanted" is that it is entertaining. Worse, all the rest. There is simply no where to get it, and this is due to its abysmal script, pitiful and without rhyme or reason. It is a real grief, and something incomprehensible, which have not been spent on improving the script to 1% of money spent on effects. There comes a point in the film in which, not to get out of the cinema, you have to imagine you're doing a study for your doctoral thesis entitled "cinema for the mentally retarded: a sociological analysis."
But the worst are two things:
The first, which James McCavoy is a great actor, and even a clown like this one looks dramatically in the first part (that nobody oppressed by the system and crushed by around him), and as an action hero in the second (and see that it is difficult to imagine a guy like that in a role like this). Why someone like him is paid to do something like this? I suppose the answer is on the check.
The second, and this is the crux of the matter is that this is the movie most banal violence I have ever seen in recent years. And that if anything distinguishes the current film is the trivialization of violence. Well, in this movie it reaches a height that even I, not shock me easily, and really enjoy violent movies, I have sadly surprised.
An entertaining film, but empty and dangerous. A pity.
Wanted: 3 / 10
