| | TheScene : The Wrong Man |
 | | This film was released in Britain under the much better (by comparison) title of Lucky Number Slevin, which, while infinitely better than the generic Wrong Man, is perhaps a little too revealing to certain areas of the complicated and convoluted plot to be broadcast so early on. |
 | | The slightly fragmented, intentionally referential and ambiguous narrative hints at a sense of intelligence that you keep hoping it can maintain, although anyone with half an awareness of the genre and style of Wrong Man is likely to see everything coming from at least a mile away. |
 | | As befitting a movie of this special form of caliber, Wrong Man\'s characters aren\'t so much characters as paper thin cut-outs; everyone, from the unassumingly psychotic \"good-guy\" mob-bosses, to the raft of ironic and humorous peripheral henchmen, to more-than-he-seems Slevin himself, is an archetype we\'ve seen a hundred times before. |
