Given his increasingly awful recent output—the ugly and misogynist A Low Down Dirty Shame, Glimmer Man, an unremarkable new late-night talk show—it's difficult to believe that six years ago, Keenen Ivory Wayans was one of America's hottest young stars. But while Most Wanted isn't exactly a return to the comedic brilliance of I'm Gonna Git You Sucka!, it's still far more entertaining than it has any right to be. Wayans stars as a decorated ex-Marine who is sentenced to death for killing a superior officer in self-defense. Luckily, before his execution, a top-secret government agency makes him a strangely familiar offer: He can go free if he joins a government hit squad. Alas, Wayans soon learns that shadowy secret government agencies cannot be trusted, as he serves as the patsy for a Kennedy-esque assassination of the first lady. Wayans teams up with foxy lady Jill Hennessy, a doctor who is also one of the few surviving witnesses to the assassination. The conspiracy, of course, is silly and ridiculous—focusing on an evil industrialist played by Robert Culp and smarmy, nefarious general Jon Voight—but the film milks it for all it's worth, creating a nicely paranoid setting for Wayans' heroics. Wayans is still not much of an action hero, but Voight is enjoyably hammy and over-the-top as the perversely Clinton-esque heavy. While it's no masterpiece as nouveau blaxploitation filler, it's surprisingly watchable.
