Simply put, this film is borrowed/created from Fight Club and The Matrix. It's a poor man's, but it's not that far off from those great films.

Reviews for Wanted
Sem alcançar qualquer peso dramático, O Procurado é puro estilo e nenhuma substância, é verdade. Mas, às vezes, é o que basta.
08/22/08
What we've got here is the ultraviolent version of Harry Potter.
08/17/08
Wanted was found to be on the outlandish side, but it has a thrilling joy ride for all to enjoy.
08/13/08
It’s fun for quite a while, getting by on audacity and raw energy -- until a midway plot twist goes off the deep end and becomes downright silly.
08/07/08
Bekmambetov made better films in Russia with far less money and more ideas.
08/01/08
Wanted is a virus of a movie, infecting the audience with its irresistible thrills as the nerdy hero morphs into a spectacular killing machine
07/28/08
Guilty pleasure or ripping escapism, it's a wild explosion of a film that rides high on its extravagant script and blows us away by its surreal action scenes.
07/28/08
Never has a mainstream movie made more of a fetish from splattered brains.
07/22/08
It's one thing to laugh along with a live-action cartoon, but once Wanted starts playing it straight, we start to groan.
07/17/08
The plot has its share of holes, but for those who like shutting off their brains but discovering they might be thinking deeply anyway, Wanted is a worthy diversion.
07/10/08
Don't drink an energy drink before seeing Wanted; your head might explode from over-stimulation
07/10/08
As long as you check your ethics at the door, there's nothing wrong with reveling in its skillful brand of sociopathic mayhem.
07/08/08
Too ridiculous to be entertaining and too long to keep everyone's attention. If fate were only so virtuous as this film would have us believe.
07/07/08
Wanted's torture-training, its depiction of murder as sport and its feeble justification for a thousand years of slaughter suggest a broken moral compass.
07/04/08
Wanted is like the last of big budget porn, throwing around endless style along with massive fake boobs and enough smoke to choke a Scott.
07/03/08
Whether you find the whole thing thrilling or exhausting will depend in large part on the health of your adrenal glands.
07/02/08
Wanted' is an action oriented film that gives the audience what they want and then some.
07/02/08
... when Freeman, Jolie, McAvoy and the rest get a chance, there's even some decent acting going on. It's almost as if the great Loom of Fate dropped a stitch and willed it.
07/02/08
Angelina kicks butt and the movie does too
