Wrong Man, The (1956) scores a combined 3.25 out of 4 stars for filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)
Without a doubt, Alfred Hitchcock's favorite film theme was the 'Wrong Man', somebody (usually male) falsely accused of a serious crime (usually murder). Often, this unlucky person then tries to evade the law, in order to prove his innocence. He ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)

One of the most taut scenes in Hitchcock's work comes early on, as the tellers at an insurance company glance at Manny and are convinced he's the man who robbed them twice. Their fears are groundless, but no less real. ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Jay Seaver)

Of all Alfred Hitchcock's films, The Wrong Man just may be the most haunting. There's no Norman Bates and no killer birds, but worse: a horror story that's not only based on a true story, but one that could conceivably happen to any one of us.

Claims that The Wrong Man is the first film Hitchcock made based on real events are a tad spurious (Leopold and Loeb, anyone?), but it does find the master far enough removed from his P.T. ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at Slant Magazine - DVD Review

It starts with a dead body, a briefcase and numbers in a ledger. There is a horse race, a hooker named Gloria and a dope doctor with a big mouth. By the time we get to meet Josh Hartnett's Slevin, wearing nothing but a mauve and white floral towel around ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at Urban Cinefile (Urban Cinefile Critics)

Film auteur Quentin Tarantino has a lot to answer for. Not only has this former video store geek introduced audiences to a whole new form of out of sequence, hard-edged, quirky crime flick but he has, some would argue, led to the dangerous desensitising ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at In Film Australia (--)

The Wrong Man has a great cast, a stylish aesthetic, some good dialogue, a plot full of twists and it adds up to precisely nothing. It's deeply superficial, as Andy Warhol once said about himself, but what's wrong with ...read the complete Wrong Man movie review at Sydney Morning Herald (--)
