Critics Consensus

Though Hackman and Freeman turn in solid performances, Under Suspicion moves at a plodding rate and has a disappointing ending.

Too tawdry to be completely entertaining, and too static to generate much excitement.

It's hard to imagine anyone walking out of this movie satisfied, regardless of Hackman's and Freeman's solid performances.

It's middling but has Gene Hackman. ‘Nuff said.

Thriller la cui trama è chiara ed è da subito comprensibile che sia tratta da un romanzo thriller. Il copione è molto interessante e segue nel suo declino il personaggio di Gene Hackman. Ad un certo punto del film però, senza sapere bene come e quando, si perde di vista il punto focale, ci si concentra solo sul confronto tra i due protagonisti, tralasciando totalmente le motivazioni e la realtà dei fatti. Tutto si spegne con un colpo di scena finale che resta appeso, senza spiegazioni. Sicuramente si poteva fare di meglio vista la sceneggiatura.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
