Mike W I am sorry I spent the time to watch this. Plodding along to an unacceptable conclusion explains the movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Mark B Good performances and the story works early on, but it seems like they had no idea how to end the movie. Clunky ending you are waiting for a satisfying twist. Nope not there, couple that with all characters are unlikeable and what we have is a waste of time. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review N M Hackman and Freeman give out a solid performance with Jane appropriately nasty. Bellucci is too wooden and if she came over from Europe aged 11 she ought to have had a less pronounced Italianate accent by that time. Not well casted. Too predictable from the beginning that Hackman could not be the culprit and we spent two hours waiting for the twist. It dragged on, as it had to. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Catherine F Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman are excellent in this low key psychological crime thriller. Almost the entire movie is based on a police interrogation between two friends on either side of the law. One is a well- to-do tax attorney (Hackman), and the other is a Police Chief (Freeman). Hackman is married to a much younger, beautiful woman as many men with money are. They have a rocky marriage which is exposed during the investigation. The interrogation seems to be going smoothly toward a conviction until the very end. (spoiler alert from this point on) The young detective Owen shows more than a passing interest in Hackman's young wife, and he "collects" evidence that was supposedly found in Hackman's darkroom that his wife turned over to the police. Hackman is told this. After which he believes his wife is trying to frame him. He confesses to the heinous crimes having nothing to live for any more. The twist is: Owen planted the evidence, and Hackman's wife thinks the detective found it in Hackman's darkroom. But they catch the real killer during Hackman's confession and let him go home. Hackman thinks his wife framed him on purpose. Realizing he is innocent, she moves to comfort him. However, he has lost all interest in her love. Owen has ruined any chance of the couples' reconciliation with his selfishness and lust. And he did not win the prize he tried so hard to gain. It leaves you to ponder about the crime Detective Owen committed and whether or not he will ever be held accountable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review René R Under Suspicion is bad, very bad. The two leading actors seemed to have an error of judgement when deciding to jump into this confused and doomed effort. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Jamie R Amazing actors and an opening with so much potential. Unfortunately it's just not that good. It even goes very creepy for no other purpose than to be creepy. Does that add to the suspense??? Not really. But then you think 'well the end is going to bring it all together and I'll have to re-evaluate everything I've seen'. Nope. It just falls flat. Not sure if it's the director, editing or writing but the movie just fails. Too bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
