How it works
1. Post a Chicago link. (No sign up required!)
2. Watch as people vote up, click on, and discuss it and our network writes about it.
3. The best links make the front page and are delivered via daily e-mail, rss, twitter and more.
It'll be fun, up to a point, for Chicago audiences to see "Wanted." Russian director Timur Bekmambetov, who's now shooting the third in his "Night Watch" trilogy, filmed parts of his adaptation of the "Wanted" comic books on location in Wrigleyville, the Loop and other settings, and the results make our poor, beleaguered CTA trains look like they can fly like the wind.
Can you imagine an action sequence involving the "L" where the train moved at its actual top speed? The stunt people would die of boredom.
The Chicago-ness of "Wanted" is entertaining (though for the most part the city's stand-in is Prague), and the cast certainly tones things up, despite the glaring lack of muscle tone of its female star, Angelina Jolie.
Yet I sort of hated this picture.
If you went for "Sin City" or "Shoot 'Em Up," you'll probably enjoy "Wanted." I like my trash with a little less fetishism when it comes to instruments of slaughter.
