Leave your thoughts about Wrong Is Right.
| NewsweekJack KrollWrong Is Right represents Richard Brooks' shriek of protest at what he sees as the insane, downward spiral of world history over the past decade. Part political satire, part doomsday melodrama and part intellectual graffiti scribbled on the screen, film is impossible to pigeon-hole. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittMr. Brooks has a couple of major defects to be successful in this kind of project. He is a man with no great feeling for comedy of any sort, and his reactions to the lunacies of contemporary life are trivial. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatWrong Is Right is a cautionary tale about amorality. |
| VarietyVariety StaffWild proceedings are packed with convoluted intrigue. |
| User ReviewBrad Wentertaining yet disturbingly prophetic absurdist film of the current state of affairs. good triple bill with Anderson Tapes and Network. |
| User ReviewRoland JI agree with other reviewers, films such as this one and for example "Network" were considered extreme and outrageous at the time of their release, but when viewed today you feel a bit uncomfortable as its message is really relevant still today. |
| User ReviewJohn HExtremely prescient. Difficult to believe it was released in 1982. Maybe some things are meant to happen... |
| User ReviewAlice SMost strangely prophetic movie I have ever seen. Truly horrific (funny at times) in its prescience. |
| User ReviewMichael Skind of a 'network' knock off but set in the future |
| User ReviewShannon Pwas ok, terrorism and the world, you can see the World Trade Towers towards the end,,,eerie. |
