Wanted

(USA/Germany, 2008, 109 minutes)

A put-upon office worker finds out he is the son of a murdered hitman and, being recruited into the secret society his father belonged to, finds out he has skills he has never dreamed of. Sleek but outrageous comic-book actioner that is a lively thrill ride as long as you don't take it seriously.
