Reviews for Wanted
Few films have accepted the role of Matrix knockoff with such gusto as Wanted; indeed, at times it's almost impossible to distinguish the two.

kombinacijom strip-akcije i koliko-toliko realnog lika vi%u0161e nego zadovoljava kriterije neobavezne ljetne zabave

...an entirely ineffectual actioner that suffers from many of the same problems that one now associates with the genre.

Then there's ADD megatard Timur Bekmabetov's deeply stupid Wanted, coming along to confirm that his deeply stupid Night Watch and Day Watch were no accident
02/18/09
A version of The Matrix that didn't bother to construct a thoughtful mythology for its universe, and a version of Shoot 'Em Up that plays it too straight.
02/09/09
Agreeably slick pop nihilism, getting a kick out of its own excesses.
02/03/09
This is an exciting flick, and it helped secure a place in the cinemas for R-rated action films.

Maximum violence and minimum plot are the formula.

Kudos to graphic novelists Mark Millar and J.G. Jones for coming up with this fun and electric idea in the first place and here’s hoping that they can create an ongoing cool environment in which these groovy characters can excel.

I personally loved it.

How can a movie about assassins be so... inspiring?
09/08/08
Simply put, this film is borrowed/created from Fight Club and The Matrix. It's a poor man's, but it's not that far off from those great films.

Sem alcançar qualquer peso dramático, O Procurado é puro estilo e nenhuma substância, é verdade. Mas, às vezes, é o que basta.

What we've got here is the ultraviolent version of Harry Potter.
08/17/08
Wanted was found to be on the outlandish side, but it has a thrilling joy ride for all to enjoy.
08/13/08
It’s fun for quite a while, getting by on audacity and raw energy -- until a midway plot twist goes off the deep end and becomes downright silly.
08/07/08
Bekmambetov made better films in Russia with far less money and more ideas.
