Now...I know everyone's seen the trailer from the movie wanted. The guy curves a bullet.

I've taken HS physics, and that even though everything and everyone tells me it is unreasonable to curve a bullet,  it seems almost...possible.

Any Ideas?

Anyhow, whether its possible or not, I'm still seeing that movie, because Angelina is fucking hot.

It's not possible. They did that for a more fantasy-like twist.

They probably have bullets with a computer in now that can make the bullet curve in flight to hit the target, now how they do it with a normal gun is maybe possible but extremely unlikely.

The thing in the trailer is pretty much impossible.  It might be possible from defects in the bullet affecting the way it flies, but the guy wouldn't be able to control that.  Snipers have to adjust for wind because bullets do get blown around, but that's only for longer distances or when the wind is very bad.  They look at the way grasses and trees blow in the distance and adjust their shots accordingly.
