Wanted

Jonathan Liebesman: Director of The Killing Room

Though he has already caused a stir with his previous works, director Jonathan Liebesman wanted to make a statement with his latest film, The Killing Room. Following four individuals who sign up for a psychological research study, the film tracks their final moments as they discover that they are now subjects of a brutal, inhumane government project. Premiering at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, The Killing Room is intense, rigid and original psychological thriller. One that pushed you to the edge of your seat in anticipation for every next move.

While audience members long for the realistic yet raw film concerning assassins, they have been greeted with several exaggerated tales from the likes of Quinton Tarantino and Michael Davis. Stuffed with unrealistic situations, overdone characters and improbable confrontations, the films are always hit or miss, never pleasing everyone and never generating large box-office numbers.

However, at least a few of those stereotypes looks to change with the release of Universal's Wanted.
