4.0 out of 5 stars Steamy sexy romp into the weird, September 23, 2001

By	Robin McDonald (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A wanted merchant sailor hunted by the police hops into convertible to hide. This doesn't bother sex kitten Missy (Rosanna Arquette) at all who finds him kind of cute and convinces her husband Phillip Mills (John Lithgow) that he should travel along with them for company. What ensues is one of the quirkiest relationship triangles you will ever want to see. John Lithgow has made a career out of playing bizarre characters, from Dr. Lizardo mad scientist who attaches electrodes to his tongue in Buckaroo Banzai to Roberta the Football player turned transvestite in The World According to Garp. This one is as far out there as anything he has done, and that says alot. Phillip Mills is a crass middle aged man with a crude tongue that shocked even jaded me as he speaks brutally frankly about the sensual charms of his much too young and lovely wife Missy. Missy oozes sex everywhere. You never really know where Missy is coming from. She is one moment purring in Alex's ear cursing Phillips big mouth suggesting they run away together then draped all over her husband just when it looks like Alex is about to lure her away. Likewise Phillip can fly into a dangerous tirade and seconds later be hugging you like you were his best friend for life. The experience is like having the rug pulled out from under you for an hour and a half. If you like having your emotions juggled and feeling constantly disoriented this can be a really wild romp. Rosanna is very sexy in this film and constantly removing her clothes at the drop of a hat. Lithgow is completely over the top but in a totally fresh way. This was a made for tv HBO film and as far as I can tell bears no resemblance to the Hitchcock film of the same name. Not for everyone but if you want to see a sexy film with a disturbingly quirky sensiblilty you will not soon forget "The Wrong Man".

4.0 out of 5 stars grand escapism, April 22, 2006

By	keno "drifter" (pacific ocean) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wrong Man [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is great viewing.Just the ticket for people trapped in a mundane existence.It starts out in seedy Vera Cruz sailors bars and takes you on a wild ride with desperate characters in a romp through beautifully shot southern Mexico.One of those great adventures in a foreign land movies.A boozy,brawling,sexy,and somewhat vulgar movie,and very entertaining!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rosanna at her best, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

The wrong man's plot is definitely not original, but Jim McBride has made a very good movie out of it, and Rosanna's strip-tease deserves a five stars rating by itself.Too bad it exists only in NTSC - Never The Same Color.
