Those who got a thrill last spring when the SEALS took out Osama bin Laden will have more of the same covert ass-kicking to look forward to in theaters as we enter 2012 (check out Safe House, Safe, This Means War, and Act of Valor, among others). Unfortunately, operations don’t always run as smoothly in the movies as they do in real life. In fact you’ll find some of the secret agents — in Haywire, for example — pondering a job change. There’s a lot of this kind of second-guessing going on in the films coming up, from the Manhattan couple relocating to a commune in Wanderlust to John Carter’s trip to Mars.
