| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert  Wanted slams the pedal to the metal and never slows down. Here’s an action picture that’s exhausting in its relentless violence and its ingenuity in inventing new ways to attack, defend, ambush and annihilate. | 15 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson The summer’s most gonzo action blockbuster. | 10 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Wanted is what I'd call a guilty pleasure. Translation: It's trash, but I love it anyway. Brutal, sexy, built to thrill and minus a scintilla of redeeming social value, the movie explodes like summer fireworks. | 15 | |
| ScreenItBut for those looking for an instinctively engaging zero to anti-hero tale, filled with all sorts of imaginative and hip visual shenanigans, one could do far worse than this offering. Not the smartest action flick out there and clearly too influenced by the Matrix pics to come off as original, Wanted nevertheless knows what it wants to be and what it's target audience is expecting, and delivers on both counts. | 11 |  |
