Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jan 1, 2000
1.5/4
An Innocent Man has all the elements to put us through an emotional wringer, but the movie never works up any enthusiasm for them. It's the most relaxed crime movie of the year. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jul 11, 2022
This film isn't bad or tedious. It has enough good moments to make it, at least, watchable and acceptable. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

2.5/4
...an entertaining, engaging drama that benefits substantially from Selleck's charismatic (and sympathetic) turn as the central character. Go to Full Review
Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Oct 6, 2005
2/5
The scenes of Selleck in prison are good, but his out-of-prison revenge is too contrived. Go to Full Review

Anakin S Jul 10, 2018 I love this movie. Acting is impeccable. Storyline is great. Edge of your seat. Love Tom Selleck in this!
Theodore W Jun 7, 2015 Any fascinating movie is vulnerable to go underrated ? The theme is pragmatic, portraits are brilliant especially by Tom but pathetic all gone un-noticed. See more
