Top CriticNot Bad.
01/01/00
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.
01/01/00
The movie is a conspiracy thriller with plenty of action scenes but not much in the way of tension or excitement.
01/01/00
The result is an all-around competence that seems more than the sum of its parts.
01/01/00
Wayans looks the action hero: buff, cool, and stoic, but in straying from his normal comedic persona he also strips himself of any charm and personality.

Most Wanted is an overly familiar B-grade action flick...
01/01/00
Wayans ... has the physique for action heroics, but he has the soul of a comedian.
01/01/00
Blandly generic and transparently derivative, pic appears to have been cobbled together from bits and pieces of earlier, better thrillers.

Top Critic...directed with bland efficiency...

Top CriticKeenen Ivory Wayans ... is said to have done some of the research for his story on the Internet, which is just one more reason to fear the influence of this technological monster.

Top CriticThere's nothing hugely wrong with Most Wanted, except that it's painfully predictable and rather unconvincing.
01/01/00
Quite simply, Most Wanted is hack work, from every word of Wayans' screenplay to every exposed frame of David Glenn Hogan's direction.
01/01/00
Most Wanted ... is idiotic entertainment done with skill.
01/01/00
[T]he film isn't as terrible as you might think — it's just bad.
01/01/00
The good news is that he infuses the potentially dry, formulaic plot with comedy. The bad news is that it’s a by-the-numbers production.
