In 2008 audiences were met with the movie Wanted starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie. The story sees frustrated office worker, Wesley Gibson (McAvoy) who soon finds out he is the son of a professional assassin and has inherited his father’s superhuman executing abilities. Needless to say, the story wasn’t mind-blowing, but if you’re in the mood for a good ol’ action flick, accompanied with plenty of violence and pretty impressive visuals, it’s worth a watch.
However, when taking a look at Mark Millar’s Comic Book counterpart that inspired the movie, it’s fair to say the film is a far cry from its literary origins. Aside from the opening scene of Wesley being frustrated with his lifestyle, some characters’ names and the overall assassination angle, there’s very little resemblance at all.

The only difference being, with one’s RSI (Residual Self Image), you’re able to bend the rules and kick some serious ass… and then some.
It’s been nearly two decades since the gravity-defying, action-packed, mind-melting, cyberpunk franchise last graced the big screen. And with that, we swallow the red pill to see how deep the rabbit hole goes in Lana Wachowski’s, The Matrix Resurrections.

Video Game movies have a proven track record of not hitting the mark and can often be seen as a double-edged sword when it comes to a live-action interpretation. Either you stay true to the game and penalize your wider audience or concentrate on your non-gamer market and do the fans a disservice.
Mortal Kombat is a surprising exception to the fact. It brings something to the table for fans, non-fans and even those troubled individuals that just like to stay up late and watch fatality videos online.
