Wanted

Here's how it starts: "A thousand years ago . . . A clan of weavers formed a secret society of assassins. They silently carried out executions to restore order to a world on the brink of chaos. They called themselves the Fraternity. Six weeks ago . . ."

Loses you at weavers, doesn't it? That's where it lost me.

What follows is equal parts "Lucky Number Slevin" (without the Kansas City Shuffle), "Shoot 'Em Up" (without the carrot humor), and "Fight Club" (without the coolness). A better title for this film would have been, "Not Wanted."

And Mr. Savoy, may I assume you bought the blu-ray of "Grendel" as well?
