Reviews
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
This over-the-top, ultraviolent, hyperkinetic action thriller pretty much has it all.
|
|
New York Magazine (Vulture) -
It takes about an hour after it's over for the heart to slow, the brain to recalibrate, and the nonsensicalness of the thing to sink in.
|
|
Variety -
Like it or not, Wanted pretty much slams you to the back of your chair from the outset and scarcely lets up for the duration.
|
|
Empire -
Not as dark as its source material, Wanted works exceptionally on its own terms. McAvoy crashes the A-list, Jolie finally gets to be as big a star on screen as she has been in print, and Bekmambetov proves the most exciting action-oriented emigré since John Woo.

|
Premiere -
If you're looking for memorable dialogue and gripping drama, then you better get in line for another flick. But if it's spellbinding special effects and high-wire acts you crave, Wanted should be at the top of your list for big budget thrill rides.
