Ein Killer kommt selten allein

I didn't know what to expect, but from near the beginning this film is comedy genius.

The name scene in the hospital ranks with some of my favourites ever. The humour is in the detailing in much of the film, with good contribution from the lazy detective. I have to write some more, as it wont let me submit unless there's 10 lines, luckily I'm happy to rant a bit about Dave Foley's performance. Never seen him before, but will look out for him in future. He makes this film rather special.

What was really excellent about this film (and essential to the humour in the plot) was the early twist revealing that this wasn't going to be another predictable wrong guy film. I wont reveal it as don't want to spoil it, but its very cleverly done.

All in all, highly recommended.

I have no idea why this film is so unknown. I love it and it's so funny, of course, if you like dumb humor.

The main character Nelson doesn't get a promotion at his job, so he goes crazy in front of all his co-workers. He later finds out his dead boss and convinced that police will be looking for him, escapes (fugitive style). The thing is, the police knows Nelson didn't kill his boss, because there was a camera at boss' office.

Nelson however, tries to escape from the police, being careful of every step, while the real killer is convinced Nelson is after him (because certain coincidences occur).

The movie is great, Foley's acting is great and the whole movie has this positive feel to it. Some jokes are so... dumb and funny, you laugh just because of the dumbness of them.

All in all, I own the original DVD, and people should see this movie, because it really is great!

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.

wow. who even knew this movie existed? well i was in virgin records and saw it on the shelf. suffice to say i rented it, and i LOVED it. i plan on buying it most likely. the beginning is a little slow but it's one of those comedies where you find yourself in tears by the middle. just terrific acting, especially by the investigator who loves to spend the gov't money on restaurants and theater - he really steals the show. seriously tho, if you enjoy great comedies with a silly edge - ex. The Naked Gun & Saving Silverman - you will enjoy this.

by the way - the movie was fairly kid appropriate. i think ages 10+ should have no problems watching this.

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")
