WANTED was a great book about supervillains that run the world and keep us in the dark about the real truth of our existence.
WANTED the movie on the other hand, appears to be about a secret society of assassins that run the world and keep us in the dark about the real truth of our existence.
At first glance, they seem similar, but the comic had a great edge to it that the trailer lacks. In the comic, the main character is a villain. There’s no greater good to his actions. There’s a progression in his character reminiscent of Tyler Durden’s rise in Fight Club.
In the trailer, it just feels like another action movie.
We’ll see.
