Reviews for Wrong Is Right
Veering wildly between a quite well-written satire on the contemporary American political scene and a very ham-fisted nuclear blackmail thriller, its sheer eccentricity is quite engaging.
The film is rather haphazard in its visual style and plotting, tallying up to a confused condemnation of our lack of morality.
The star of Wrong Is Right is Sean Connery, giving the first uncertain performance of his otherwise exemplary career.
