First thing first... Wanted is strictly for 2 king of audience: Hardcore action lovers and Hardcore Salman fan. If you are none of these, there is nothing else for you in this flick. No great acting, no good songs, no emotions, no romance. The movie relies heavily on Salman's star power and Vijayan's mindless action sequences.
I have read most of the earlier reviews on IMDb, and most of them seem to be biased just because they are Salman fans. I agree that Salman is one of the greatest action heroes of Bollywood and Prabhu has exploited his muscle power to full extent. But thats it; the movie has nothing else to offer. Had the writers put a little more efforts on the story and screenplay, Wanted could have been the Ghajini of 2009. But alas, Wanted is just 50% as good as Ghajini.
None of the other actors seem commendable. Mahesh Majarekar's character of a crooked cop seems more like a comedian while the Prakash Raj, in spite of his good acting, doesn't look like a furious don. Ayesha Takia's lover girl role too is unconvincing and plastic. Vinod Khanna is wasted as an actor. Everybody has left the job of pulling the movie on Salman. Even the few good dialogs belong to him.
I watched the movie on pirated DVD, taking three breaks in between. Just got bored after every 45 mins. Watch it at you own risk, preferably on DVD only. No need to spend to watch it in theater.
Once again, Wanted is only wanted for action and Salman lovers.
