Under Suspicion (2000)
| Movie Summary from Amazon | |
Product Description
A police chief begins routine questioning of his friend, a successful attorney and a possible witness to a young girl's murder, only to find that his friend's answers become more and more incriminating. Genre: Mystery Rating: R Release Date: 5-FEB-2002 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman star in this suspense-filled tale of interrogation--less of a whodunit than a didhedoit. Freeman plays Victor Benezet, a police captain investigating the murder of a child, and Hackman is Henry Hearst, a prominent lawyer and pillar of the community who also happens to be the prime suspect. Benezet and Hearst have a history together, and Benezet is torn between showing deference for an old friend and prominent community figure and ruthlessly pursuing a man he believes to be a child murderer. Director Stephen Hopkins spins multiple versions of the same events, popping details in and out as Hearst's story changes. Hopkins also uses the unusual and satisfying technique of juxtaposing the interview room with other locations, allowing Benezet to "follow" Hearst through his movements as he questions him. Under Suspicion also serves up the delicious eye candy of Puerto Rico during the St. Sebastian festival, but the real treat is getting to watch two masters like Hackman and Freeman square off. --Ali Davis Actors: Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, Thomas Jane, Monica Bellucci, Nydia Caro Directors: Stephen Hopkins Writers: Claude Miller, Jean Herman, John Wainwright, Michel Audiard, Tom Provost, W.
