Wanted was a great film, in more ways than one.  Of course, I just had to do a little research on whether it's even plausible to curve the trajectory of bullets.  It turns out that it might be, but not in the way it was presented:

• The bullet would need to be spherical, and spinning in a similar way to a curveball (to obey the Magnus effect)
• The Coriolis effect, due to the spinning of the Earth, could possibly curve the bullet, but only over very long distances and by a very small amount
• The bullet would have to exhibit an electric charge and then be acted on by a strong magnetic field
• For a moment in time, there must have existed a large gravitational force, so much so that space and time distort (obeying General relativity), causing the bullet to curve into this distortion.  I think we are off topic here, though

(Some of these sites were somewhat informative)

The Office Space parallels were also amusing.  Overall, a great movie.
