- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis powerful and well-acted story might have been much more effective if told in strictly linear fashion.
- 75The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThe Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzThere 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.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreGiving 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.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeQuick 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.
- 38RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzRogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzA 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.
