Movie Reviews of Under Suspicion
Movie Review: Um, just one question....
Summary: 3 Stars
Entertaining, but the plot has a hole big enough to walk through: It's about the interrogation of a LAWYER. If you're wondering why an attorney (or anyone smarter than a house plant) wouldn't "remain silent" and/or demand a lawyer for himself from his high-powered law firm (he was even read his miranda rights)rather than spend two hours undergoing humiliating and incriminating interrogation, well, I'm wondering too! The script doesn't bother to explain this obvious point. The obvious answer is that they wouldn't have a movie.... but isn't the writer supposed to devise some credible explanation? That's why they make the big bucks, after all.
Movie Review: GOOD MOVIE FROM START TO MIDDLE
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the body of this movie. The plot was intriguing, though slightly riddled with clichés, and the well-acted characters developed convincingly -- how could they not, the two big Hollywood tykes (Hackman, Freewood). Some of the reviews here about the movie's unexplained ending baffle me because I think that the power of suggestion was precisely the point. I'd also have liked to have known more about a few things, but that's a minor gripe. It's a near-perfect film, had they just tied some loose ends in the finale for the general public.
A film for those of us out there who crave good performances and dialogue. Recommended rental.
Movie Review: Engrossing Mystery Starring Two Old Pros
Summary: 3 Stars
Two old pros, Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman, square their shoulders and face off in a bravura acting tour-de-force in "Under Suspicion," an engrossing mystery directed by Stephen Hopkins. The delicious Monica Bellecci is seductive and compelling as Hackman's wife. The question at hand is: Did Hackman murder two young girls? The format is very stagey: most scenes take place in a police station, with flashbacks and possible scenarios fleshed out in interesting ways. As a mystery, the film is average. As an opportunity to watch Hackman and Freeman at the top of their games, it is unbeatable entertainment. Definitely recommended.Movie Review: Duel or duet?
Summary: 3 Stars
Hackman and Freeman. The producers and actors of a story they selected. Can't go wrong watching it. A very interesting way of reconstructing a crime scene, nice camera runs, moody soundtrack. The video transfer is OK, the sound is very well mastered on DD5.1. Why not more stars? First, it's not widescreen (but the trailer is...). Second, there's a moment the movie could go a little faster. Third, the solution came somewhat easy. Not a blockbuster, but a movie you'll like for its many good moments. A great duel from an amazing duet. Your DVD collection will welcome it.Movie Review: Good...but the end
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie was actually very promising until the end. Pedophilia was treated almost lightly and there were some unnecessary and very disturbing discussions and details thrown in which really can be very traumatizing to those who have had experience in the area or who have children.
The end was very disappointing and just kind of dropped off. The fact that the wife almost appeared to run back to him and be sorry at the end was very creepy considering the things that he admitted to and she witnessed. That blew it for me.
