Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Roger PiantadosiYou'll cheer, you'll laugh, you'll bite your nails and feel your heart pounding right up there under your crewcut.
USA Today - 8/10 by Susan WloszczynaAn Innocent Man isn't an inspired piece of filmmaking, but it is tightly focused and efficient, and on its own modest terms it is effective.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 6/10 by Harper BarnesThe plot is almost as old as Hollywood itself, yet the film's ironic, cynical tone gives the material a new spin under the direction of veteran Peter Yates. The script is savvy about the power structures both inside and outside the prison gates, and the fine cast makes the most of the well-crafted dialog and sharply drawn characters.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Johanna SteinmetzThis 1989 movie looks much of the time like an old idea that's been too enthusiastically colorized. The prison sequences work best, and they seem almost like a completely separate film.
Chicago Sun-Times - 4/10 by Roger EbertAn Innocent Man has all the elements to put us through an emotional wringer, but the movie never works up any enthusiasm for them. It's the most relaxed crime movie of the year.
The New York Times - 3/10 by Janet MaslinMore than enough sadism to go around. But the net effect is less excitement than overkill. The screenplay, by Larry Brothers, has a tendency to forget old plot elements as it picks up new ones.
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Michael WilmingtonThis cautionary thriller about an unjustly imprisoned airline mechanic has a chance to be a canny blend of gutsy melodrama and J'Accuse against the prison system. But, by the end, it has gone as slick and corrupt as the crafty old con (F. Murray Abraham) who advises Tom Selleck's framed Jimmie Rainwood on jail survival. On a fundamental moral level, An Innocent Man is guilty as hell.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 3/10 by Rick GroenThis collection of cliches accomplishes the almost unthinkable by bringing the prison genre to a new low.
