Wanted trailer

Kill one, maybe save a thousand.

I have found this on internet: Bekambetov, who has started his shooting career from Russian TV-ads in early 1990-s, loved CGI and camera effects from the very beginning. Now, with a sufficient amount of Hollywood's money he realizes his early dream: CGI in Wanted isn't an addition to the storyline, but the storyline itself.

It is very true.  All the amazing effects!  Like when Mr X was jumping out from the window in the building, the breaking of glass and how it stuck on his face because of his extreme speed etc .. it just makes you wonder how these CGI was made.  There were a lot of them.  I watched it with never-ending amusement.  The story itself was not much to talk about.  As you talk about it, you ask questions and it's not a movie about logic or giving us why's.  So just sit back and enjoy all the excitment!
