No es sólo una película. Es todas las películas
Ryan Harrison, un virtuoso del violín idolatrado por el público, es seducido por la bella y enigmática Lauren Goodhue, que lo implica en el asesinato de su marido, un gran magnate, por lo que es detenido y condenado a muerte. Durante el traslado a la cárcel donde será ejecutado, la furgoneta resbala sobre una piel de plátano, y Ryan logra escapar. Se convierte así en un fugitivo que es perseguido sin tregua por un incansable sabueso, el teniente Fergus Falls. Lo malo es que Ryan sólo dispone de 80 minutos para resolver el crimen y demostrar su inocencia.
"Wrongfully Accused" (1998) is a comedic gem that masterfully parodies the suspense and action genres, particularly taking aim at the iconic "The Fugitive." Directed by Pat Proft and produced by Morgan Creek Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures, this film blends the talents of the United States and Germany to deliver a laugh-out-loud experience. Starring Leslie Nielsen as the hapless hero Ryan Harrison, the movie follows his absurd journey as he is framed for a murder he didn't commit and must evade capture while trying to clear his name. The film's humor is relentless, with Nielsen's deadpan delivery perfectly complementing the over-the-top scenarios and ridiculous plot twists. From a one-armed, one-legged man to a ludicrously long train chase, "Wrongfully Accused" doesn't shy away from poking fun at the tropes and clichés of its source material. The supporting cast, including notable performances by Richard Crenna and Kelly LeBrock, adds depth to the comedic chaos, ensuring that the laughs keep coming from start to finish. One of the standout aspects of "Wrongfully Accused" is its clever use of visual gags and puns. The film is packed with sight gags that range from a cow playing the piano to a literal "cut to the chase" scene involving scissors. These elements, combined with the sharp script, create a unique viewing experience that appeals to fans of slapstick and satire alike. The movie's ability to maintain a high level of humor without becoming repetitive is a testament to the creative vision behind it. In the landscape of late '90s comedy, "Wrongfully Accused" holds a special place for its bold approach to parody. It successfully captures the essence of what makes the action and suspense genres so ripe for mockery, all while delivering a cohesive and entertaining narrative. Whether you're a fan of Leslie Nielsen's brand of humor or simply looking for a good laugh, this film is a must-watch that continues to entertain audiences with its timeless comedic charm.
