Wanted

🎲

2008 action film with star-studded cast and bullet-bending premise, criticized for copying Fight Club's shlubby man trope without coherent explanation

Mentions (2)
"Wanted tried to deepcopy the entire Fight Club trope of "shlubby man wanting to be something greater", but instead of CTE-induced facial disfigurements in a schizo cult it brought...bending bullets? And they never explained how the bullets bent outside of some "jedi instinct" shit."
"Mine has to be Wanted (2008). It brought together a star-studded cast, somehow won 2 Oscar noms, but had the dumbest fucking premise imaginable."
