Film Review – Wanted Man

Over the last two decades, Dolph Lundgren has acted in a lot of movies, never one to turn down a part. He’s also managed to direct a handful of them, and he returns behind the camera for “Wanted Man,” which hopes to offer a little sensitivity when it comes to the issues of Mexican border tensions and culture. Co-scripted by Lundgren, Hank Hugues, and Michael Worth, the feature is no splendid example of dramatic subtlety, with the production committed to a crude understanding of the central situation. Lundgren gets in some decent action sequences with his tiny budget, doing especially well with shotgun blasts, but he’s less assured when it comes to creating nuanced characters experiencing something profound in their lives. “Wanted Man” gets in a few hits, and it opens with potential, but the picture gradually falls apart, showing little interest in following the character arcs it establishes.
