Movie review - "The Wrong Man" (2006) **1/2

Reasonably enjoyable thriller well plenty of plot, a strong cast and some top notch direction which handles the violent scenes with skill and always tries to ensure something different (brightly coloured doors, fresh settings). Doesn't quite compensate for a busy script that is a little too obviously written by a Gen X'er who has seen a LOT of films - references to Once Upon a Time in the West, Yojimbo, Pulp Fiction, North by Northwest (this is made explicitly). The length of the flashback at the beginning tips the film's hand a little too readily, and the wrap up at the end takes a little too long, but for all that I enjoyed it.
