Seems Wes's long-lost father was killed while working for the Fraternity and Wes has been selected to target the rogue member who murdered him.

All it needs is the car chase, the train crash and the final shootout and I'd be happy.

It's made for fans of films that really just want to see some great visuals, some amazing sequences and some terrific performances.

A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.

Bekmambetov's movie evaporates pretty quickly after it's consumed.

I've watched a movie that, while fiercely entertaining, made me fear for the emotional health of my gender. You have a problem with that?

The movie never convincingly sells us on its tone, and setting.

Wanted never takes itself too seriously and is fully aware of its frailties. This is fast and furious popcorn munching fodder, which doesn't waste time dabbling in meaningful theorising or contemplation.

In normal cinematic terms, it could easily be dismissed as gun porn, boyish nonsense or action overkill. Fact is, in the realms of badass cinema, Wanted is damn near untouchable.

For non-discerning action fans looking to satisfy your adrenaline rush, you can add this film to your most wanted list.

A movie so shamelessly derivative of so many other movies that it ought to have a work-cited page at the start of the closing credits.
July 06, 2010
Wanted is too bloody, too over the top, too silly, and too special effects driven. It's also excessively entertaining and fun.

If the graphic-novel-style hyperviolence of Sin City or 300 is your thing, go ahead and knock yourself out. Or let Angelina do it for you ... It feels so much nicer that way.
