Guardian

Even by the standards of action movie characterisation, Lundgren only fleetingly probes or ironises.

Rated: 2/5

Wanted Man reaches its peak when considered as an action film with a critical perspective on racism. In this aspect, it stands out among other similar products of the genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

A routine but inert B-movie action-pic.

The rest of the film is a complete wash: the grittiness of Lundgren’s earlier directorial efforts seem completely removed from action scenes that have little emotional and cathartic impact.

Rated: D-

Wanted Man is a frustrating watch, especially for Lundgren fans and one that is probably better avoided.

Rated: 1.5/5

Dolph Lundgren's Wanted Man is neither a throwback nor a fun B-movie action flick.

So a 7, this, I kinda liked. Sure it was corny but good corn. And some 67, about, The Channel? Unwatchable.

Frasier as a retired, veteran cop. Do I need to say more?

The acting was very poor. Fight scenes were terrible. The delay in fight scenes was too long. Just a really bad movie.

RASSISMUS VON BEIDEN SEITEN Johansen ist ein alter Cop der durch seine Aussagen "mexikanisches Gesindel" zur Zielscheibe der "Metoo" Bewegung wurde. Um das Bild der Polizei wieder aufzubessern, wird gerade er nach Mexiko geschickt um zwei Nutten zu eskortierten die wichtige Zeugen sind. Dolph Lundgren macht an sich nur zwei Dinge in diesem Streifen, seufzen und im Bett liegen. Man merkt ihm sein Alter sichtlich an, denn er hat weder die Power noch die Lust um hier groß durchzuziehen. Die Handlung selber gibt aber auch nicht viel her, denn neben dem "amerikanischer hassen die Mexikaner" Klischee ist es hier auch umgekehrt. Schließlich ist der große weiße Amerikaner an allem schuld (wenn man bedenkt dss Lundgren eigentlich Schwede ist) naja. Viel Patriotismus auf beiden Seiten, eine Menge geballer und bla bla. Ehe man sich versieht, ist man trotz der kurzen Laufzeit auch schon eingeschlafen.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

It was not a bad movie, but it was not great. I found it slow moving with not enough action. It was predictable so you know how it is going to end. I had it figured out from the beginning, you probably will too, but it is worth a watch.

It’s a good movie. It deserves much more that the 8% that he pro reviewers gave it. I enjoyed it.
