Debbie A I only watched it, because it stars Cher, whom is my rolemodel, but I have rewatched it probably 5 times since,because I really got captivated by the whole story and also the time setting is one of my favourite decades of film which makes it even better. Movies from the 70/80/90's are still to this day the best of cinema not like the garbage they are just copying from already great films today or anything from this era is garbage, here and there are still a few good shows and film, but I always return to classics like these. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/24 Full Review Jelisije J You ever watch a film where a lot of things happen and yet you don't care about anything because their is no positive or negative energy that is coming from the characters because their is nothing interesting about them. Not a bad film but the ending was so predictable i was waiting for the movie to end 30 minutes before it actually ended. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Michael S Mediocre 80s legal thriller that suffers from the rule of "narrative economy," which effectively spoils the ending. The romance between Cher and Quaid is a total non-starter. Nice DC location shooting, though. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/24 Full Review Steve D Fatally flawed because of some weird decisions in the script. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Paul D One of my favorite 80s movies. Cher is great, and so are John Mahoney and Liam Neeson. A very solid courtroom drama! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/22 Full Review Audience Member When a Supreme Court Justice commits suicide and the body of a file clerk at the Justice Department is found floating in the Potomac River, nobody considers it a conspiracy. Instead, homeless and deaf vet Carl Wayne Anderson (Liam Neeson) is arrested because he had been sleeping in the clerk's car. He doesn't have a chance against the system unless public defender Kathleen Riley (Cher) can discover who was really behind the murder. She also has some help from Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid),  a juror on the case, because that's the way that trials work in the real world. Judge Matthew Bishop Helms (John Mahoney) thinks that there's something happening between Kathleen and Eddie, but he may have some bigger problems because he could end up being in the very trial he's presiding over. It's pretty incredible how much research Cher, Neeson and Quaid did for their roles, spending months around people who would inspire them as well as educate them as to how the real world version of their character would act. Directed by Peter Yates (Bullitt, The Deep, Krull) and written by Eric Roth (The Concorde ... Airport '79, Wolfen, Ali, Dune), Suspect is a very 80s mystery which fits in quite well with the Mill Creek box set I discovered it inside.
