Wanted Man

If you want action that respects the story underneath it, Wanted Man is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Netflix and Hulu right now. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Dolph Lundgren brings a physicality to the role that elevates every sequence. Put it on tonight on Amazon Prime Video and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Wanted Man earns its spot. The choreography in Wanted Man serves the story instead of interrupting it. Follows a police officer who must retrieve an eyewitness and escort her after a cartel shooting leaves several DEA agents dead, but then he must decide who to trust when they discover that the attack was executed by American forces. Dolph Lundgren and Christina Villa lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2024. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Action fans who want craft and story alongside the spectacle will find exactly that in Wanted Man. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Dolph Lundgren is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.
