Synopsis: Scuzzy
lawyer likes really young girls. Scuzzy cop wants to know what he likes to do
with them.
Blurb From the VHS
Jacket: “Everyone has secrets. Some of them are crimes. Two men. One night.
The police captain on the island of Puerto Rico interviews a prominent tax
attorney and old friend – the witness to one of a shocking series of brutal
crimes. But what begins as a cooperative conversation between peers descends
into a night of intense interrogation between fierce adversaries.”
What Did I Learn?:
If you’re going to lie to the cops, it’s best to come up with a good story off
the bat and then stick to it.

Movie If: You enjoy a good interrogation.
Really?: 1)
Wouldn’t a rich guy be able to afford a better toupee? 2) What are the odds of
Hackman having photographs of both murdered girls? 3) Umm...innocent people
sometimes plead guilty to crimes because they’re poor, can’t afford legal
representation, and figure they’re better off with a plea bargain. Generally
speaking, rich lawyers don’t admit to raping and killing children because they’re
down in the dumps.
Rating: Under
Suspicion is a tense psycho-drama featuring fine performances from Hackman and
Freeman (as well as Thomas Jane and Monica Bellucci in supporting roles). While
I recommend this movie, it’s seriously undermined by an unsatisfying and highly
unbelievable ending. 7/10 stars.
