Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInspired by the Bollywood movie A Wednesday (2008).
- GoofsThe Common Man is supposedly very intelligent, yet he makes two obvious mistakes: First, he stashes his bombs in places where they could easily be found: on a train's luggage rack, under a bus seat, and in a public trash can. Second, his headquarters on the open roof of a tall building could easily be seen by hundreds of people in the adjacent buildings.

Featured review
what a lousy remake of the great Hindi movie, 'A Wednesday (2008)
"A.Wednesday(2008), the Hindi Crime and revenge movie was seriously produced with a great original screenplay, good directing supported with first rate actors, the editing was also good, and of course, the sound track dutifully accommodated to the situations changed and twisted with great collaboration. the whole storyline really grabbed you and never let you go to the end. that old guy would never cast any doubtful impression to anyone, because he really looked and behaved like a common citizen in any big city that walked around you but you never paid any attention to him. yet in this pathetic film, they signed up Mr. Ben Kingsley to play that devil's advocate and avenging angel (or should i say, the avenging devil?). of course, Mr. Kingsley is a great actor who did so many great jobs in so many good films, but hiring this iconic actor to play that role was absolutely inappropriate! he got a satanic face with such a vicious features and such a prominent hooked nose, he is the extreme opposite person who we would call him common. anybody sees him would inevitably remember him. his unique satanic face has turned into even worse as he grows older. i don't know why Sri Lanka movie people would have adapted a 2008 Hindi film and reproduced it. by hiring two well known international actors, Ben Kingsley and Ben cross, two English actors would never make it better if the screenplay and other supporting actors were so weak and so bad. unlike "the next three days" adapted and remade from the original french film, 'anything for her', the remake never ruined the original copy but also turned it into another absolutely watchable thriller. but this 'a common man', on the contrary, completely ruin the 2008 original 'a Wednesday'. why they made this movie? did they think nobody would know what they poorly copied and ruined a great film after six years gap? this film should never have gotten a nod from their investors, as always, stupidity never failed to amaze me. my rating of this movie is not 0, but 0 minus 10. an absolute piece of crap.
