Ein Killer kommt selten allein

In Cleveland, the histrionic and clumsy executive Nelson Hibbert (Dave Foley) expects to be promoted to president of the Nigel Industries since he is engaged of the owner's daughter. However, his future father-in-law Mr. Nagel (Kenneth Welsh) chooses the executive Ken Daly (Dan Redican) for the position, and Nelson threatens him in front of the board of directors. Later he decides to pay a visit to Mr. Nagel but finds him dead with a knife in his neck. Nelson removes the knife and is covered of blood, becoming hysterical and leaving the office assuming that he is the prime suspect. However, the surveillance cameras disclose the identity of the killer (Colm Feore), and while Nelson escapes to Metcaf believing that he is chased by the police, the killer is pursued by the police and tries to eliminate Nelson believing that he is a "super-cop" on his trail.

"The Wrong Guy" is an extremely hilarious movie. I have just seen this film with my daughter and we are still laughing of the dumb but funny story. The lead character is a sort of Canadian version of Mr. Bean and is so imbecile that it is impossible to stay serious with his presence in scene. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Suspeito Errado" ("The Wrong Suspect")

Yes this film looks like it will be yet another terrible "dumb and dumber" type film but it really is rather well scripted and ...well down right funny. I am a huge Kids In The Hall fan but we got to see a few episodes of their series over here in the UK and that was it, i bought Brain Candy whilst in New York and and managed to tape a few of the KITH shows when they aired briefly over here in the mid 90's. I have searched for The Wrong Guy but it isn't available over here (like anything KITH related) but the BBC happned to show The Wrong Guy a couple of days ago and i laughed from the start to the end. It is s very simple idea for a film but it is made up of great little comedy moments that keep you laughing, even as a KITH fan i didn't expect it to be as funny as it was. Dave Foley really showed how great he can be as a writer and actor and how a simple idea can turn into something rather special, and that is what this film is SPECIAL. Watch this film if you get the chance and ..... start showing the KITH in the UK again or at least make the series available over here. 7 out of 10 Rotten Addict

Funny. What else would you expect from a movie starring Dave Foley?

"Today is the big day!" Dave had me cracking up right from the beginning. Already, you see that Nelson Hibbert can really be so WRONG!! The series of events implicating him are dark, but effectively funny. I guess his character is so clueless that it already adds the comedy ingredient throughout the film. Watch for Jennifer Tilly: her scenes with Foley are fun to watch. Good chemistry!

Some more standouts include the detective whose laidback, logic flawed, corrupt methods are surprisingly quite effective and humorous. The crazy driver guy has got to be the nut of the film...what a kook!! Oh, I must mention that the scene between Foley and Kevin McDonald is hilarious. Their timing is awesome and they feed off each other so well.

Overall, a dark comedy with a moral as well! Funny stuff.

If you like Kids in the Hall, and are a fan of their wonderful comedy "Brain Candy," then you will love this movie. Starring Dave Foley, with a cameo from Kevin McDonald and sly references to "Brain Candy" (at one point, paging "Dr. Chris Cooper"), it continues KITH-quality humor.

If you've never heard of KITH, and have no idea what I was talking about in that last paragraph, you'll still enjoy this movie. A wry turn on the "Fugitive"-style drama, a wrongly accused man on the run always looking over his shoulder to find...no one is chasing him. Tightly scripted, well acted, and just plain funny.

Don't be fooled by the B-movie production value of this film. This is one of the funnier movies I have seen in a long time. Dave Foley plays his dorky persona to a tee, while Jennifer Tilly is sweet and sexy as his love interest. I couldn't believe I was laughing so hard but this plot had so much to offer with its ridiculous main character under the misconception that he is the subject of a nationwide manhunt. A worthy rental.
