Movie critics cannot always be trusted, of course.

But when so many of them give such glowing reviews to a movie - and when that movie features a scantily clad Angelina Jolie is the role of an assassin - it's bound to catch your attention.

With that in mind, we present the following views on Wanted...

- Wanted has the kind of irresistible summer-movie allure that makes studio executives drool in anticipation. Even its title must swim before their eyes and transform into 'Want-to-See'... -- New York Magazine

- This over-the-top, ultraviolent, hyperkinetic action thriller pretty much has it all... -- Hollywood Reporter

- Like it or not, Wanted pretty much slams you to the back of your chair from the outset and scarcely lets up for the duration... -- Variety

- Possesses a 'wow' factor that will make it one of the summer's biggest hits...an unabashed testosterone-adrenaline cocktail spiced up with a dollop of torture-porn bloodlust... -- One Guy's Opinion
