Not everything shown on film has to be realistic. Wanted is based on an unlikely premise - well, far out anyway - two strangers at a bus . , a shooting occurs, the women are kidnapped. Long story short, the women wind up with a bag of cash worth about $3 million and go on the run.
There isn't much realistic about that, nor should anyone expect that the rest of the series is realistic. It's instead, fun and character driven as the two women (Rebecca Gibney and Geraldine Hakewill) unite, fight, and run like heck across Australia in an assortment of cars and trucks.
The women become involved in impossible situations and manage to get out of them. Every time something happens, you think, HOW are they going to get out of this one? With good and bad cops searching for them, their exploits make them folk heroes to people who don't like the police and enjoy seeing them embarrassed.
I found this series thrilling at times, as well as poignant, and most of all, well acted. Our two heroines are likeable, and we're on their side all the way, angry when they do something dumb and frustrated when they don't take opportunities to save themselves.
I can't really ask for anything more entertaining. For years we've watched buddy films with all too few female team-ups - this is crazier than Thelma & Louise, and I loved it.
