Wanted : Some real physics laws

So another movie of Miss Jolie and raving reviews later, it time for me to watch it on my small screen. For intro purposes, IMDB has rated Wanted at 7.3. I think it is a little bit higher than mine.

I learned one thing in watching such movies. Never think. Watch and forget. Better leave your brain at home while you go to such movies. One scene which really appealed to me was the scene where FOX(Angelina Jolie) shoots the bullet in a circle, killing everyone and herself as well. It defies all the rules of physics. Talking about physics, I never knew you can bend bullets like that. But then you never know a lot of things they show in movies.

Getting back to the scene I was talking about, thanks to my brother for pointing this out, it defies all Newtonian mechanics. According to inertia of motion, the bullet should have continued in a curved path endlessly. But it stopped right after it hit Fox's head. Anyone knows the reason? Simple. The other heads were empty. only Jolie has got a brain.

That makes her a deadly combination, don't you think? Beauty with brains.

Lol!! Perfect review of Wanted and I have had the same issues with the movie.

First thing - the only person for who anyone would go to this movie is Jolie and guess what - she doesn't survive till he very end. That's more than half the disappointment in the movie.

The other heads were empty. only Jolie has got a brain. - hehe!! true true!
