  - FYI... My comment was not aimed specifically at you, I'm surprised at the level of character analysis being applied to this film by many people. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:28 8
    - if that's all you want, there are plenty of Steven Seagal movies out there. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:33 4

      - I would argue that the characters in Wanted are just as developed as those in Iron Man. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:38
Redeemable nihilism? Heh. -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:14 3
- see; Fight Club. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:15 2
  - sounds more like Fight Club without Robert Paulson -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
