Two posters for an Angelina Jolie film have been criticised by advertising watchdogs for making guns attractive.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled the Wanted posters were not suitable to be seen by children.
It added that the use of a glamorous actress, gun images and aspirational text "could glamorise violence".
But seven people who complained the posters were inappropriate at a time of concern about gun crime did not have that particular view upheld by the ASA.

Dark Knight To Be Re-released For Oscar Bid
Executives at Warner Bros. studios are re-releasing The Dark Knight next year in a bid to win the Batman movie an Academy Award.
Bosses at the studio are planning to restore the Christian Bale-starring blockbuster to several U.S. Imax venues in January to coincide with Oscar voting season.
It is currently uncertain if the film will reappear in regular theatres as well.
