    Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

    When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

    The Wrong Mans is a TV series is what you'd call a true diamond in the rough, I stumbled into on HULU and now I am hooked.Sam (Matthew Baynton) and Phil (James Corden) are masterful and captivating in their amazing comedic and dramatic adaptation of what would your so...? It all starts with the most unsuspecting Sam and a cell phone, after that these two are thrown full tilt into the most impossible and bizarre situations that your could think up. The action and anticipation is well placed and will have you on the edge of your seat, you will not be disappointed.The only issue I have is that I wish the episodes were longer, even though they episode delivered enough to keep us hooked…we want more!

    The Wrong Mans is a TV series that I didn't hear anything about until I saw it advertised a week or so before it aired. It looked like a decent show and I liked James Corden in Gavin & Stacey so I decided to give it a go. As the weeks went on the series just got better and better and it turned out to be very good.Sam (Matthew Baynton) and Phil (James Corden) are the case of a mistaken identity following a phone call that was not intended for them. They are thrown into some quite bizarre situations. They are always on the run for one thing or another and they are just two innocent guys. The action is quite fast paced and each episode ended on a cliff hanger and you just wanted to see what would happen next.The action was all sorts such as car chases and being taken hostage. When one thing is sorted out, something worse happens. The drama is really good and you really feel for the main characters. The acting all round is impressive. Then there was also the humour side of things, each episode had its moments. It wasn't the funniest series I've ever seen but it had just enough to give the series a different side. Silly humour in a completely serious situation, like debating how Ginsters is pronounced while there is somebody chasing you who wants to kill you.The way it ended made me think it was all over but since it has already been confirmed that there will be a 2nd series I am really looking forward to seeing what will happen next. Hopefully it won't go downhill from here because the 1st series was extremely impressive.9/10.

    James Corden and Mathew Baynton star and also co-wrote what can be best be described as a comedy action series.They play in The Wrong Mans, Phil Bourne and Sam Pinkett, office workers for Berkshire County Council although Corden is not a council employee he just wakes in the mail room. Their lives are turned upside- down when Sam (Baynton) answers a mobile phone left lying around after a car accident.It might be case of mistaken identity but soon they are mixed up in a kidnapping, there are people out to kill them, corruption, nefarious spies; whilst all the time our hapless duo try to escape from increasingly bizarre situations against the odds.It would be wrong to call this series a sit com as this is far away from a sofa in a living room you can get, explosions, people being chased through country roads, dropping from the higher floors of car parks this is a topsy turvy show.Baynton is perfect in the lead role an innocent goaded at work by office politics who just wants to do the right thing and has bitten off a bit too much. Corden who is a fine dramatic thespian in my opinion can be overbearing when it comes to comedy, but tones his performance down enough as the more adrenaline fuelled one who is prone to taking risks.The first series was successful enough and seemed to have tied up its plot lines nicely but a second series has been commissioned by the BBC.

    Watched the first 3 episodes and left me wanting more.Is a series about 2 guys put in an outrageous situation after finding a phone. Full of funny moments and good action scenes. The comedy arrives from the situation they are put in and how naively and dumbfounded they manage these. The pace is extremely well done, no filler, just great script that rivals the best of action movies and also the funniest of comedy movies.The production is great, specially for a British show. Acting is fair, but characters are charismatic enough to get you caring.Worth watching. Is a top quality beginning of a show.I give 8/10.
