Audience Reviews for An Innocent Man

  • Aug 16, 2011
    While I really like Tom Selleck, one of the more under-appreciated actors in Hollywood, this film was not his shining moment. Despite his best efforts, he is not able to overcome the clumsy dialogue, corny exposition, and the completely unbelievable over-the-top corrupt cops (where's Vic Mackey when you need him?) that are prevalent throughout the film. Yes, much of the prison material is effective, as is Selleck's relationship with his wife, but it all suffers around a poorly written script and amateur execution.

    Tom Selleck is forced to get TOUGH to survive in prison, when he is framed for murder. He doesn't look good in blue, and looks better in Hawaiian shirts as Magnum P.I. It's a bit scary when anybody as nice as Tom Selleck can get sent to prison. The scene where the guards take away his wedding ring was sad. F. Murray Abraham helps him get even against a nasty gang of cons. Once Tom gets out of prison, he has real "conviction" to go after the bad cops who framed him, with a great ending scene. Not the most exciting film, but it has some unintentionally funny scenes.

    Rather clumsy prison flick that is yet more proof that Tom Selleck does not have the star presence to carry a project beyond the small screen. F Murray Abraham provides some dramatic gravitas, but it just feels so "straight to video".

    Average mystery-thriller of a framed guy surviving in prison' story.
