The greatest movie ever!
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
View More***SPOILERS*** Confusing at first movie about murder & stock manipulation that has a knock out of a twist,or quadruple twist, ending that will floor those watching it for a full 10 count that the film "Wrong Number" has to be despite being almost unknown to the movie ,in the theaters & TV, going crowd right up there with the best of them. It starts off with Josh Gray, Eric Roberts, being blown away by his stock market partner Michael Bartlett, David Lipper, who later tries to frame him in taking off with over 200 million dollars of stock from his company to the Cymen Islands that later, after he took off with it, went bust bankrupting all its thousands of share holders.At first looking liker an open and shut case for the police things are later reviled that shows that Michael was having an affair with the late Johs' wife Dana, Brigitte Bako,who's also a bit shady in her dealing with Josh & Michael and may well have had something to do with his murder. This leads to a fork in the road or parallel story with where we cut back to the murder scene and see that, despite what we already saw, there's was someone else, hidden behind the camera, who actually did Josh in and framed William or Dana with his murder. The movie starts to get really complicated when Det's.Scott Stevenson & Anton Bijon, Kane Picoy & Barry Blake, get on the case and end up screwing up-intentional or unintentional-every lead that can have them find Josh's killer.****SPOILERS**** The shocking ending takes, after you thought the movie was finally over, some ten minutes to explain and it's more then worth watching. It not only pulls all the loose ends together but comes up with some half dozen other ones that by the time its over will completely blow you mind. Besides being an excellent whodunit type of film "Wrong Number" can also be excellent choice the see on "Father's Day" as well!
View MoreThis movie is odd the acting is pretty bad typical soft core porn acting but without the soft core porn. there's some witty dialogue between the two cops but its almost completly out of place. very weird movie about 3 out of 10 is what i would rate it.
View MoreI found this film in a $5 DVD bargain bin and was skeptical, but I liked Brigitte Bako in Paranoia and Eric Roberts on his current series Less Than Perfect, so I figured what-the-hell.The film gets off to a slow start, and for a while it looks as if it's going nowhere. It begins with Bako revealing to the police how she thinks her husband, Roberts, was murdered. But the film picks up when we switch points of view and see the same scenario with Bako as the murderer. I have to admit the role-reversal was quite cleverly crafted. After another chain of events, what really happened was revealed, leading to a very surprising twist ending. I generally have movies of this sort figured out long before the characters, but the twist that happens in the last 2 minutes of the film genuinely floored me. Good perfermances, clever story... It was certainly worth the $5!
View MoreI was doubtful at first when I saw the way the movie was being presented. Past events being revealed one after the other, that usually makes make me want to change channels. I didn't change movies, and I'm very glad, it's a very good scenario with just enough suspense to keep you guessing a little bit. Eric Robert's at his best and so is Brigitte Bako. Thumbs up to this one! 7,5/10... I was doubtful at first when I saw the way the movie was being presented.
