Wanted Man (2024)

Wanted Man (2024). This movie "stars" Dolph Lundgren with supporting cast of Kelsey Grammer, Michael Pare and a few "unknowns" actors.

I went into this movie knowing it probably wasn't the highest caliber of cinematography or acting but in all truth it really wasn't too bad.  I mean it's based on a storyline, script or whatever that's already been done at least half a dozen times or more.  There are moments of action and storytelling along with this and that which makes a movie decent enough.

Of course there were parts where I was like "WTF?" or "That would never happen like that" or whatever the case may be.  I had to remind myself that it's not real, it's a movie so let these things slide.  However, it just chaps my hide sometimes when movie makers do things in movies that are based on reality but are way off base in the movie.  Like when guns in movies have unlimited ammo and no one ever has to reload or reloads after firing a hundred rounds from a 30-round clip.  Another is when a person hides behind a 1/4 inch thick plywood as protection from rounds of a 9MM Baretta, Glock 45 or AR-15-style rifle.  Anyway, I digress.

FINAL VERDICT:  If you can catch this on a streaming service you already pay for or find it for free somewhere, it might be worth a watch.  I've seen better but I've also seen much worse that even had bigger name actors in it.  Of course, you won't miss out on anything if you don't watch it as I previously mentioned the storyline is the same or similar as many other movies.
