Movie Reviews of Under Suspicion
Movie Review: would have given 5 stars if the ending were more clear
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched the movie, was a little thrown off by the ending, but here is what I think was going through Henry's head:Henry is a stubborn man from the middle class who is living his dream life, especially from the outside looking in. He has money, power, some local fame, & a trophy wife. The reality is his marriage is in shambles. Remember what he said about getting divorced, he would be ruined finacially, losing his house, half his money, and half his share of the law firm. Socially he would be regarded as a fool because he let go of a young attractive women, and, As Morgan points out, the only reason he is on everyones A list is because of his wife. Seeing the insurmountable evidence against him, his way of bowing out of his marriage gracefully (ugh) was to confess to the murders. This sounds stupid, but, rather than give up everything he will be taken where he won't have to deal with any of the repercusions(sp?) of his break-up.
thats about the only semi-rational reason I can come up with. Mike
Movie Review: Excellent Acting, Disappointing Ending
Summary: 4 Stars
"Under Suspicion" is a story of a harrowing cross examination that claws to prove that an esteemed lawyer has murdered a 12 year old girl. Henry Hearst (Gene Hackman) is a lawyer living in Puerto Rico with a beautiful young wife. Harry is brought into the local police station before a Charitable Fund-Raising event he has agreed to support and give a speech. The local police captain (Morgan Freeman) and his eager assistant Detective Owens (Thomas Jane) ask Harry what he was doing before he discovered the body of the young murder victim.
Harry has trouble keeping his story straight and as clues add up against him the angst of his situation builds. Then after two long hours of dredging up painful personal stories and nebulous evidence, the final scene falls flat. Evidently the message is "Who is telling the truth?" Don't jump to conclusions.
Although the acting is top notch and grabs your attention, the ending is a total disappointment.
Movie Review: Keeps you sweating from the beginning...
Summary: 4 Stars
Henry Hearst (Gene Hackman) is on his way to a fundraising banquet when the phone rings and he is asked to come into the police station to clarify some questions regarding a crime. At the police station Captain Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman) begins to ask some innocent questions, but the questions spin into insinuations and then accusations. As the plot thickens, the superintendent becomes aggravated that Henry has not been released in order to attend the fundraiser. Under Suspicion provides a solid criminal drama where the audience is put on the electric chair anticipating the flip of the switch.Movie Review: Under suspicion
Summary: 4 Stars
Once in a while a really good movies comes along, very well writen script. If you looking for fast action, with special effect then please do not watch this movie.
This movie is for people who love actors working at their best with good writen material.
Morgan freeman and the great actor Gene Hackman, giving one the best perfomances I have seen in a very long long time.
Movie Review: Good, strange ending
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay.. this was a good movie. normally in a murder movie the true suspect is revealed. not in this case. gene hackman was the suspect, but it turns out @ the end that he was completely innocent. I wish it was a better ending - a little more suspense. other than that, good movie...
