The Richard Brooks - Sean Connery collaboration Wrong is Right is a very odd film. Depending on the scene, it is a satire or a farce or an adventure spy thriller. To the great credit of the film and Richard Brooks, its sophisticated treatment of television, terrorism, government and politics is as relevant today as it was in 1982. It is a low-budget film, with poor production values. That was probably deliberate and could have enhanced the farcical aspects of the work, but gets in the way of us enjoying it as a satire or a thriller. Sean Connery is very good in a difficult role. The brief roles played by Katharine Ross, John Saxon, GD Spradlin and Hardy Kruger come accross well. But the characters played by George Grizzard, Robert Conrad, Henry Silva and Rosalind Cash are almost cartoonish in nature. On the other hand, Leslie Nielsen is great playing a dleiberately cartoonish character.
