Since I'm only the sixth person to comment on this excruciatingly awful film, I've read and recalled the five previous critiques.
Sadly, the reviewer from 1999 has learnt that Michael Sutton will never "..be the next Johnny Depp"! In fact he no longer appears in films and has not done so for many years. Oh, and the same reviewer asserting this was a nice clean family movie must have missed the steamy sexual encounter in the opening credits!
I think the remaining four reviewers were spot on in describing 'Wanted" as contrived with characters who served merely as stereotypes. I thought the acting was quite mediocre which made the contrived plot even more obvious.
However, this could actually develop a following as a cult movie because with repeated viewings I'm sure many will be entertained with the multiplicity of gaffes, ludicrous plot moves and the banalities in the script and characterisation.
Frankly, I'm very surprised that I was able to watch this movie in its entirety.
