Good performances and the story works early on, but it seems like they had no idea how to end the movie. Clunky ending you are waiting for a satisfying twist. Nope not there, couple that with all characters are unlikeable and what we have is a waste of time.

Hackman and Freeman give out a solid performance with Jane appropriately nasty. Bellucci is too wooden and if she came over from Europe aged 11 she ought to have had a less pronounced Italianate accent by that time. Not well casted. Too predictable from the beginning that Hackman could not be the culprit and we spent two hours waiting for the twist. It dragged on, as it had to.

Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman are excellent in this low key psychological crime thriller. Almost the entire movie is based on a police interrogation between two friends on either side of the law. One is a well- to-do tax attorney (Hackman), and the other is a Police Chief (Freeman). Hackman is married to a much younger, beautiful woman as many men with money are. They have a rocky marriage which is exposed during the investigation. The interrogation seems to be going smoothly toward a conviction until the very end. (spoiler alert from this point on) The young detective Owen shows more than a passing interest in Hackman's young wife, and he "collects" evidence that was supposedly found in Hackman's darkroom that his wife turned over to the police. Hackman is told this. After which he believes his wife is trying to frame him. He confesses to the heinous crimes having nothing to live for any more. The twist is: Owen planted the evidence, and Hackman's wife thinks the detective found it in Hackman's darkroom. But they catch the real killer during Hackman's confession and let him go home. Hackman thinks his wife framed him on purpose. Realizing he is innocent, she moves to comfort him. However, he has lost all interest in her love. Owen has ruined any chance of the couples' reconciliation with his selfishness and lust. And he did not win the prize he tried so hard to gain. It leaves you to ponder about the crime Detective Owen committed and whether or not he will ever be held accountable.

Under Suspicion is bad, very bad. The two leading actors seemed to have an error of judgement when deciding to jump into this confused and doomed effort.

Amazing actors and an opening with so much potential. Unfortunately it's just not that good. It even goes very creepy for no other purpose than to be creepy. Does that add to the suspense??? Not really. But then you think 'well the end is going to bring it all together and I'll have to re-evaluate everything I've seen'. Nope. It just falls flat. Not sure if it's the director, editing or writing but the movie just fails. Too bad.

Tedious, and at times grossly unpleasant, Under Suspicion has quickly become one of my least favorite movies. Perhaps I’m missing something, but whatever message about the darkest depths of the human imagination and psyche the film was trying to convey was completely lost in execution. Even without its lazy ending that completely discounted everything the film had been building toward, the experience is still wildly uncomfortable in the worst ways possible. While many films can make the audience uneasy through masterful directing, editing and performances, this film chooses to be unpleasant and shocking for the sake of being unpleasant and shocking. I’m sure that this subject matter and concept can be done well, but this film simply does not execute what it intends to. Despite all of my issues with the film, I do think that the acting is great for how lackluster I found the writing.

Most terrible ending in history of film. Great actors then the end story cks. Waste of two hours. Hoolwood sucks.

The movie itself is not bad. It was actually pretty good, and I was enjoying it for the most part. You have Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman as the main two characters. What could be bad about that? Well, I'll tell you. The ending. The ending was terrible. Imagine you have been outside for 2 hours staring up at the sky to catch a glimpse of the eclipse, then, right as the eclipse begins to take place, a large cloud moves in and blocks your entire view. What a waste of two hours.

While this movie is very formulaic this film is highly underrated due to its theme and messages that left me in awe with its unforgettable third act.

Acting is a 10 so no complaints there,however the story is not very tight eap. At the end.

Two fine actors in a stupid, stupid movie. That’s two hours out of my life that I will never get back. I would never recommend it, and I am irritated that I watched it.

not worthy of two fine actors' time

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

Another Dope Flick, Freeman! Super Entertaining!

This is a masterpiece. Such a criminally inderrated film.

There isn't much here, especially with the lackluster end.

For all the good actors in this movie how did they all manage to be terrible ? 2.0

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.

contrived and cliched. Horrible direction and script. Basically Freeman and Hackman yell at each other through the whole movie while Thomas Jane tries to be Brad Pitt in "Seven". Bellucci is a mannequin that they keep cutting to just to show her beauty, no other reason, because she can't act.

This film had its moments, but mostly at the end. The good acting was wasted on a slow moving plot.
