“Wanted Man” (**1/2 out of four) was a not-bad action melodrama about a grizzled border officer (Dolph Lundgren) who has to find and retrieve an important eyewitness (Christina Villa) after a vicious cartel shooting leaves multiple agents dead but has to find whether to trust his friends and fellow officers (Kelsey Grammar, Michael Pare, and others) when he discovers the attack was made by American forces. Lundgren also directed and gives one of his better performances in a story that harks back to prime Peckinpah and mid-period Walter Hill. Imperfect to be sure due to its flimsy script but well-made and engaging. Sacha Chaban’s stirring music score is also another definite plus.
