There is not much more you could ask of a Canadian thriller, even if the director lets the Thailand-set portions of the film devolve slightly into clichéd Brokedown Palace territory.

A film like Most Wanted is a welcome one, featuring a well-told version of this all-too-common real-world narrative.

This powerful and well-acted story might have been much more effective if told in strictly linear fashion.

By Richard Roeper FULL REVIEW

Jul 23, 2020

Along with Pilon’s striking performance, the film’s sturdy, subdued craftsmanship keeps it from movie-of-the-week territory, even as Roby’s script ticks overly familiar boxes.

Jul 20, 2020

Giving equal weight to the four different points of view is one thing. Give us multiple timelines on top of that and you lose focus to the point where everything turns fuzzy.

The Hollywood Reporter

Jul 24, 2020

Quick and pretty constant cutting between different threads of this story keep Most Wanted from feeling as long as it actually is, but it also keeps us from committing fully to any one story, all of which feel slightly underwritten.

By John DeFore FULL REVIEW

Jul 25, 2020

A mediocre film that's unaware of the poor choices it's making is much harder to watch than a bad film that relishes its stupidity and poor taste. At least the second kind of film can be fun.
