What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Paul Tatara CNN.com Too tawdry to be completely entertaining, and too static to generate much excitement. May 1, 2003 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Jul 3, 2001 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com It's hard to imagine anyone walking out of this movie satisfied, regardless of Hackman's and Freeman's solid performances.

Aaron L It's middling but has Gene Hackman. ‘Nuff said. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review B L Another Dope Flick, Freeman! Super Entertaining! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Justin P This is a masterpiece. Such a criminally inderrated film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Steve D There isn't much here, especially with the lackluster end. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member For all the good actors in this movie how did they all manage to be terrible ? 2.0 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
