I went to see "Wanted" the other night and later watched "Things We lost in the Fire" on DVD.
That was backwards! "Things Lost" was worthy of the big screen and "Wanted" is at best a rental. I went to see "Wanted" for escape and knowing that it was about people who could will bullets to curve around obstacles and car chases where the cars never seemed to wreck and where the "good guy" is in a Dodge Viper, but could not out run the bad guy driving a delivery van. I was ok with all that. It was a normal interactions of the characters that was so stupidly portrayed! "Things lost in the Fire" is a totally on target look at two people trying to survive a death of a loved one and a drug addiction. It sounds like a downer, but it is so well acted that it will win you. Wanted: *star Things Lost: ***1/2 stars
