The early reviews for Wanted are coming. And they are great! Its always nice to see a fun action film get accolades from critics, especially when it stars the always sexy Angelina Jolie. The Hollywood Reporter said:The debut American feature by successful Russian director Timur Bekmambetov is over-the-top, ultraviolent, a hyperkinetic action thriller that pretty much has it all. That would include engagingly offbeat source material in the form of Mark Millar and J.G. Jones' comic book series, adaptation by Michel Brandt and Derek Haas a terrific cast including a sexier than ever Angelina Jolie, and jaw-dropping stunt work.
Set in Chicago but shot in a cleverly disguised Prague (save for a noticeably Eastern European-accented rendition of "Happy Birthday" by Gibson's fellow office workers), "Wanted" effectively hits the ground running with a steady flow of wildly inventive action sequences. For a summer action film - you couldn't want anything more. ****
