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

Barry Hertz

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. Read full review

The Film Stage Dan Mecca

Jul 23, 2020

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

Guy Lodge

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

I liked the movie, I found the story interesting and even though some say timeline was confusing, for me it felt quite understandable fast. I think overall it was a good movie

While the timeline is a bit confusing at first and some of the acting performances aren't particularly great, the movie still manages to keep you entertained and interested through the entirety of it's running time.

(Mauro Lanari)
135 minutes of confusion because of a nonlinear narrative without any valid reason.
