Wanted, a review by Jon

Wanted
4 out of 5

This is about a guy in a dead-end job/life, who is persuaded by a tough sexy woman to meet an enigmatic leader of a group of people with very special abilities, working outside of society. He has the same gifts and may hold the key for all their futures...

So far, so The Matrix. It's a shame the plot is so close because it detracts from what is essentially great fun and a shot of pure adrenalin right through your TV. It's bloody great, especially several action set-pieces that will have you on the edge of your seat.

In fact, taking the comparison with The Matrix a step further, it's more fun and better written, especially dialogue, with a stronger backstory that should be able to support the inevitable sequels. It's a bit hectic and overdone in places, which is where the smoother and darker Matrix will always win out (at least the first film), but damn, it's still fantastic!

Ultra low budget British horror flick... and another movie that apparently measures success by how many naked bodies it can parade in front of the camera.

Terrible acting, huge gaps in the plot and only one decent scene of gore throughout the whole movie.

This one is a dog with fleas.

A decent episode but nothing special. But I did like the ending. I thought it was very creepy when John had to get the key from the Terminator in stand-by mode.
