While attending at a fund raising ceremony, Henry is asked to pay a very short visit to the local police station for a couple of questions but the situation escalates quickly, Henry being accused of raping and murdering two small girls. He's forced to stop lying once he figures out that the police mean serious business but whether he is the actual culprit or whether he is hiding something else is left to be discovered and revealed by the detectives. His social life is being jeopardized but also his relation with his gorgeous wife who doesn't know what to think about her husband.It's a psychological thriller, full of confusion, mystery and unexpected disclosures. It manages to draw all your attention, making you eager to discover its unpredictable finale. As a minus, it is a bit too boring in some scenes, slightly reducing its rating but overall it's a great watch.

In Puerto Rico, wealthy lawyer Henry Hearst (Gene Hackman) is married to beautiful Chantal (Monica Bellucci). Police detectives Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman) and Felix Owens (Thomas Jane) investigate Henry for the rape and murder of a young girl. There is no direct evidence but Henry's story starts to fall apart revealing marital problems and personal sexual accusations.The material may not be worthy and the directing style is poor. This is a four-handed play with four great actors. There is good possibilities but ultimately, the story is unsatisfying. This deserves more cinematic style. It may be compelling for completists but for everybody else, these actors have been in better.

I usually don't review a film that has already been reviewed by over 100 IMDb reviewers...unless there is a good reason. My good reason here is bad acting on the part of one of the supporting actors.The two main characters here -- Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman -- are, as both actors and characters like 2 men playing excellent chess. Except that the game they are playing here isn't chess, it's an almost intellectual competition between two men -- one is a police detective in Puerto Rico (Freeman), the other is a prominent attorney who is a suspect in the rape and murder of two pre-teen girls.But then, in comes a lower-grade young detective that probably can't even play chess -- Thomas Jane, Honestly, based on this film, if I never see him in another film it would be too soon.But, we can overlook him due to the strength of the acting by Hackman and Freeman. And, I say that as a person who never liked Hackman until he became older. Now I quite admire his acting in his maturity.I can't judge the acting of Monica Bellucci here; she plays Hackman's wife. The strong accent and behavior of the character made it difficult for me to judge her acting, also I suspect it was less than believable. I wonder what other think.The story here seems very good, although many would find it distasteful. It certainly is a very serious film. I suspect the film is set in Puerto Rico to give the police more leeway in their strategies for solving this crime.One thing that's very odd here is how Hackman holds his Puerto Rican cigarettes throughout the film. Very odd; I couldn't figure out if it was a message or just an odd way to hold the cigarettes.As I watched the film, I kept thinking that the suspect was hiding something...not his guilt, but the guilt of someone else. And then the end of the film comes and you say, "Huh?????" I'm giving this film a "5". Watch the film, get to the end, and you'll find out why...not to mention Thomas Jane's acting. How this film ever made the mint of money that it did, I don't know. Certainly not though word of mouth. And I say that as a great admirer of Morgan Freeman.

First Advice: Do not read any spoilers or details about this movie, the less you know about it the more you will enjoy it. This is not because of some "amazing surprise ending" but because every line of dialog gradually builds a picture of the life and character of the protagonist, and the thrill of seeing it all develop is so much the greater if you do not know where it is (supposedly) going.Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman are their usual brilliant selves, but the study is all about Gene Hackman, his troubles, triumphs, loves and losses, and how he has dealt with them -- for better or worse.Gene Hackman discovers the body of a murdered girl and dutifully reports it to the police. But there are some problems with his story they want to clear up, and as he attempts to explain them he seems to be digging a deeper hole for himself, bringing us to the title, he is "under suspicion." It is impossible to discuss this movie without giving spoilers, so I will instead mention one of the greatest classics that it can be compared to, that play we all had to read in high school: Oedipus Rex. We all know that play is about a man who murdered his father and married his mother, right? Wrong! The play is about a man who has been told he is destined to do these things. But he is not a craven pervert who wants to kill his father or sleep with his mother. He is in fact just like you and I, he finds such things disgusting, and so he spends his life seeking to avoid the prophecy. But the reason we all have to read it in high school to this day is not just because he is a good guy trying to avoid an evil fate, it is the masterful revealing of each little detail through the play that gradually reveals how Oedipus' attempts to avoid the curse have brought him directly into it.There are two parallels with Oedipus Rex. Both stories deal with a crime universally recognized as horrible and perverted, and both are masterfully told to gradually reveal more and more detail about what may or may not have happened.This is why you do not want to know anything about this movie before seeing it, because it is not about knowing whether or not he is guilty, or what troubles he may have in his marriage (who doesn't?), it is about the brilliantly written dialog and interplay between Hackman and Freeman as the suspicion is developed.One final warning. There are plenty of good movies out there that fully develop both man and woman as characters in a troubled relationship, this is not one of them. Hackman's wife exists solely to further develop his own character. It is not about her, it is about him. If you don't like such one-sided developments, well, maybe you won't like this movie.
