A list of questions about the movie Wanted.

Below is a list of questions I had from the movie Wanted, feel free to answer any question you like, don’t have to answer all; or put in your thoughts about the questions SPOILER ALERT:

1) Can people actually control their heartbeat? Perhaps not up to 400 beats per minute or whatever the crazy number it was that Wesley’s heart could beat at. Can people speed up their heart just a bit by thinking?

1.5) Can the heart take 400 bpm?! Probably not.

2) Provided # 1 is true, does the speeding up of the heart actually pump more adrenaline into the blood? I thought adrenaline was produced around the kidney area, and is released there also.

3) Does increased adrenaline speed up the body (as in muscles move faster to accommodate our actions)? Or does it increase our reaction time?

4) Is there actually a type of bath (like the wax bath in the movie) that will heal wounds faster?

5) Can one actually curve a bullet? I’ve heard stuff about the Coriolis effect giving bullets direction variation over long ranges, but can it happen short-range?

6) Are there bullets that have “stages” that “break off” like a rocket, like the sniper bullets in the movie?

Bonus) Am I taking this movie too seriously?
