"Under Suspicion" is an intense, psychological thriller, with veteran Police Captain Victor Benezet squaring off against prominent tax attorney Henry Hearst -- two life-hardened and well-matched opponents motivated by reasons more complex and personal than the pursuit of duty or the defense of reputation. Exploring the darkest recesses of the human imagination, bringing to light the dangerous psychological ramifications of a guilty conscience.

Critics Consensus

Though Hackman and Freeman turn in solid performances, Under Suspicion moves at a plodding rate and has a disappointing ending.

Too tawdry to be completely entertaining, and too static to generate much excitement.

Hackman and Freeman will pin you to your seat.

Why was Hopkins, the best of whose films is ordinary, hired to construct a film which hangs on psychology and dialogue?

It's hard to imagine anyone walking out of this movie satisfied, regardless of Hackman's and Freeman's solid performances.

This movie upset me. There is no way that this movie should be as bad as it is with the absolutely outstanding cast that it does. There story, the script, everything is just a boring mess. Truly unfortunate.

I am sorry I spent the time to watch this. Plodding along to an unacceptable conclusion explains the movie.

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.
