On to wanted.  This movie kicks ass.  It is totally a man’s movie that combines office space, fight club, and the matrix, into an adrenaline pumping train ride.  I was totally engrossed in this movie from the second it started.  The soundtrack is also phenomenal.  NIN launches the movie with ‘every day is exactly the same’ and pushes the beginning tempo of wanted. 

I truly suggest seeing both movies ASAP.  and the Dark Knight is coming out in like 2 weeks!
