With no emotional stakes and a confusing central conspiracy, Wander is a thriller without thrills and a political statement that doesn’t know what it wants to say.

Full Review | Dec 27, 2022

One of the lamest episodes of The X-Files never made, Wander actually brings to mind the name of Mad magazine's spoof of the cult series. Just call this The Ecch-Files.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 28, 2021

Wander tries to be a taut thriller, but after a while, it just wears you down.

Full Review | Apr 19, 2021

Intriguing and watchable conspiracy thriller with excellent acting, especially from Aaron Eckhart. Shocking at times, though a little unsatisfying and not quite believable enough.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2021

A mystery thriller of slim proportions relying too much on high production.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 8, 2021

Not only is the story unique, but it's brought to life by an all-star cast.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 26, 2021

It features a cracking good paranoid performance by Aaron Eckhart.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Jan 5, 2021

"Wander" is extremely well acted, but its outlandish twists and turns will have you rolling your eyes in disbelief.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 11, 2020

A screwy little movie saved by committed performances.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2020

Wander straddles the thin line between paranoia and truth, yet emerges as a compelling thriller with a genuine thirst for exposing what lies beneath.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 8, 2020

Squandering a strong cast, this far-fetched thriller works better as a twisty small-town murder mystery than an idiosyncratic character study about redemption.

Full Review | Dec 5, 2020

This off-the-rails paranoid thriller is so untethered -- not helped by Eckhart's unpredictable, inconsistent performance -- that it's difficult to tell whether it's taking itself seriously.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2020

[Wander] is kind of a drag at times, despite the energy director Mullen puts into the scenario's depiction.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2020

The truth of Wander ... isn't something about this man. It's a trick played on us...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2020

The limp ending simply doesn't make up for the uninspired convolutions that precede it.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Dec 3, 2020

For all of its elaborate convolutions, it just winds up as confused and muddled as its hero.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 3, 2020

Wander has some genuinely fun, crazy performances but any intrigue has been buried out in Area 51 somewhere.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 3, 2020

Despite Aaron Eckhart and Tommy Lee Jones hamming it-up for the campy, unapologetic garbage the film is, "Wander" is a conspiracy theory that leads down a rabbit hole to nowhere.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Dec 3, 2020

A meandering and overcomplicated script written by Tim Doiron gives the cast too little to do in a journey that should at least illuminate some truths about their characters, even if what's going on in the world they inhabit is never entirely clear.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 2, 2020

The feature is held back by crude filmmaking choices and some wild overacting by lead Aaron Eckhart, who doesn't have the discipline for the part.
