Review of Wanted

Wanted (2005)
6/10
the style needs to chill
8 April 2019
A group of agents from various law enforcement agencies are gathered into an elite team in L.A. to track down the city's 100 most wanted fugitives. The team includes the leader Conrad Rose (Gary Cole) from L.A. SWAT struggling to manage his broken family and naval intelligence Carla Merced (Rashida Jones).

I really hate the edgy fast rugged edit connecting scenes. This is a TNT show that lasted half a season. It's trying too hard to be raw, gritty, and flashy. When you try too hard, it often doesn't come off as sincere or real. Gary Cole is a good actor. He's a pretty good lead here. Rashida Jones plays the younger female agent forced to prove herself in the machismo environment. The pilot has a few too many hard non-descript team members. I really don't like the forced hard rock style. Mostly, I don't like the forced part. Even their home base is an empty industrial warehouse. The team does improve with better actors but it has one too many members. Otherwise, it's a fine standard police procedural.
