Wrongfully Accused Ratings & Reviews
- RichardApril 19, 2026It has peak late 90s spoof energy a rapid fire barrage of sight gags, absurd detours and Leslie Nielsen delivering dead serious nonsense with the precision of a man born to parody every thriller ever made. It follows the Fugitive, dips into Mission: Impossible and somehow still finds time for other parts. The film never pretends to be clever, it just wants to keep you laughing and it throws everything at the wall to make that happen. Some jokes miss, plenty land and the pace never slows long enough for you to care about it. It’s the kind of movie I rented on VHS, watched with zero expectations and ended up quoting for weeks. Silly, relentless and proudly ridiculous, a perfect snapshot of the time when spoof films still knew how to have fun.
- RicFlix1January 2, 2026As a massive fan of the Naked Gun franchise and the Zucker brothers stuff generally, I've always loved this flick. This feature sends up the Fugitive primarily but it's far superior to Nielsen's send up of the Bond franchise, Spy Hard, that this movie is so often compared to. I'm Psyched to have finally found an anamorphic 1080p version at long last. Probably among my favorite comedies ever. Lowbrow and crude humor throughout, needless to say, this is a cinematic classic. 5 stars, no notes lol.
