Wanted Ratings & Reviews
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
Bekmambetov's movie evaporates pretty quickly after it's consumed.
Film.com
Laremy Legel
Wanted is too bloody, too over the top, too silly, and too special effects driven. It's also excessively entertaining and fun.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
It's made for fans of films that really just want to see some great visuals, some amazing sequences and some terrific performances.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
A 12-armed heavy-metal drummer of a movie, kicking and flailing through two hours of impossible. The car chase of the year.
The New Republic
Christopher Orr
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?
Movie Retriever
Brian Tallerico
The kind of thrill ride that they used to make more often during the summer season - an over-the-top action movie made strictly for adults. Keep your superheroes. Give me more of these.
Slate
Dana Stevens
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.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Directed at a pitch of gritty giddiness by the Kazakhstan-born Timur Bekmambetov, this hard-R splatter-fest about a team of sanctified assassins is also the summer's zazziest action movie.
Seattle Times
Mark Rahner
Director Timur Bekmambetov's gimmicks and the A-list cast sell the nonsense.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Ultimately, watching Wanted feels like being privy to somebody else's unwholesome fantasy, one you'd rather not know about.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Wanted is fast-moving and bloody, enjoyable even within its unapologetically generic limits. But McAvoy is its real secret weapon.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
That Timur Bekmambetov's amped-up action flick Wanted makes absolutely no sense is entirely irrelevant. Your brain, in fact, can take a two-hour hiatus. But your adrenal glands will be working overtime.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
Wanted's hyperkinetic antics are sometimes weighed down by a surfeit of adolescent misanthropy. But the adrenaline-overdose strategy works for viewers as well as hit men.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
It's a chance to watch a bullet explode from the forehead of a killer -- and an invitation to laugh at the spectacle. See what you do, then tell me who's sicker: Bekmambetov or us.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The film's high proficiency is at the service of a concept that can most accurately be defined as sadomasochistic.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Wanted is quite happy to judge a man by the size of his gun. The irony is that the biggest one here belongs to Jolie, and her Amazon smile indicates she knows exactly how nervous that makes the boys.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Slams the pedal to the metal and never slows down.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Wanted shows life in the killing lane with lots of zippy effects, action and exploding heads.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
Nasty, twisted, pulpy, and brutally violent.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Wanted may be the most absolutely stone bonkers, crazy-good movie of the century. Or it may be a gargantuan piece of trash. Chances are it's a combination of the two. But man, does it rock.
