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.

Top Critic Wanted is a virus of a movie, infecting the audience with its irresistible thrills as the nerdy hero morphs into a spectacular killing machine

Guilty pleasure or ripping escapism, it's a wild explosion of a film that rides high on its extravagant script and blows us away by its surreal action scenes.

Never has a mainstream movie made more of a fetish from splattered brains.

It's one thing to laugh along with a live-action cartoon, but once Wanted starts playing it straight, we start to groan.

Take a slice of The Matrix, stir in pinches of X-Men and Da Vinci Code and garnish with a sprinkling of Hellraiser - and Wanted sounds like a re-heated Sunday roast. Add the bloody viscera of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and you'll think it's a dodgy dish

The plot has its share of holes, but for those who like shutting off their brains but discovering they might be thinking deeply anyway, Wanted is a worthy diversion.

Don't drink an energy drink before seeing Wanted; your head might explode from over-stimulation

As long as you check your ethics at the door, there's nothing wrong with reveling in its skillful brand of sociopathic mayhem.
