WANTED MAN (Dolph Lundgren, 2023)

I still haven't caught this yet, before I grab the blu what's the best English friendly version subs wise?

I believe there's only a Nordic, German and Dutch blu-ray release. And none of them have English subtitles. None of them have any meaningful special features either. So just go for whatever's cheapest I suppose.

Indeed...

It's sad that even the US didn't get a physical release, I don't know how Quiver made anything from digital only, and it's not like they sold it to Netflix.

Damn. Is the non English speaking element of the film a barrier for entry? Will it even be worth it?

‘Wanted Man’

Stream it on Netflix.



Dolph Lundgren, who played the monosyllabic foe Ivan Drago in “Rocky IV,” has formulated a fascinating late-career chapter for himself as a director-star. In his latest effort, “Wanted Man,” he’s Detective Travis Johansen — a racist, xenophobic cop dispatched to Mexico to bring back two people who witnessed the border town massacre of a cartel by masked bandits. It’s a simple job that goes awry when the three are ambushed by other bandits, leaving Travis wounded and one witness dead, with the other, Rosa (Christina Villa), taking him into her family’s protection.

As a director, Lundgren brings a workmanlike approach to the shootouts, whose booming blasts deliver palpable angst and anticipation. As an actor, Lundgren is working the same ground as Clint Eastwood in “Gran Torino,” offering the vision of a man who still could change for the better, even if it happens with him kicking and screaming. That combination of style and performance makes “Wanted Man” a desirable B movie.
