a certain young man who hates life, hates work, is bored, and has nothing to do with his life at the bottom of white-collar workers. Until one day, a beauty who seemed to have smoked too much marijuana came and claimed that he was The Chosen One. The whole world desperately needs him to save...

Star Wars, The Matrix, and Wanted.

These three films spanned 30 years, and no matter how many botched imitators there are, this little character becomes The law of superman saving the world, brain-disabled audiences will never get tired of it. There is no way, we have eaten the same cold pork for thousands of years. The difference between a generation of celebrity chefs and kitchen workers is that the former can turn decay into a miracle, often unexpectedly by diners.

Compared with the previous two films, this Wanted just failed to innovate and burned into a mediocre cold pork. The killer, the car, the beauties, the stunts and the sympathy of praying for the little people, everything is there, and it turns out to be nothing. If there are any factors that can make it leave a trace in the history of film, I guess it is to imitate the classics, but it has created a ridiculous and funny plot. Westerners will think of the Black Lord in Star Wars ---Luke, I am your father! Chinese will think of Wang Shuo's classic: I am your father.

A certain young man who hates life, hates work, is bored, and has nothing to do with his life at the bottom of white-collar workers. Until one day, a handsome guy who seemed to be overkilled came and claimed that he was going to fight. The whole world urgently needs a fucking fight to save... So this ordinary young man who is nothing began to train hard for superman. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, he eventually blew up a building inexplicably...

If Wanted wanted to imitate the decadent and absurd style of Fight Club, this film might go down in history a little...
