November 24, 2007This is a pretty decent action film, not heard of it before but it's pretty good if it was a straight to DVD release.

March 23, 2008This is a pretty decent action film. As an action movie it wasn't exciting enough. It also failed in an attempt to be a thriller. It really only succeeded in showing that dog food bags can be potential bombs.

Not only is the screenplay for Most Wanted laughably absurd, but it contains line after line of the worst dialogue available in any film currently on a multiplex screen. Full Review

...just another generic action flick.

Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle
Quite simply, Most Wanted is hack work, from every word of Wayans' screenplay to every exposed frame of David Glenn Hogan's direction.

Most Wanted ... is idiotic entertainment done with skill. Full Review
