WANTED


American Idol took a backseat for once. It helped that the daughter had a friend over to spend the night. So we didn't need to bother with family TV. The girls are hold up in daughter's room playing with toys. In went our Netflix copy of Wanted.

Fast and stylized, Wanted had just what an exhausted boy-brain needed to get away from it all albeit in a pulsating pool of blood, shrapnel and mind-bending bullets. There were plenty of heavy nods to the Wachoski brothers' Matrix trilogy with the thankful absence of Keanu Reeves.

Rotten Tomatoes had no rating on this movie, which surprised me, but IMDb gave it a 7 out of 10.
