Under Suspicion
Director Stephen Hopkins' (LOST IN SPACE) crime thriller is a remake of the 1981 French film GARDE A VUE, and is adapted from John William Wainwright's novel BRAINWASH. On the evening of the San Sebastian festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico, wealthy tax attorney Henry Hearst (Gene Hackman) is supposed to attend a charity ball with his lovely, much younger wife Chantal (Monica Belluci), but is called to police headquarters. The previous day--during his morning run--Hearst discovered the dead body of a 12-year-old girl. Captain Victor Benezet (Morgan Freeman) and the explosive young Detective Owens (Thomas Jane) say they merely want to clarify some details in Hearst's statement. However, when the questioning begins and Hearst stumbles over his answers, it is evident that the police suspect Hearst is involved. As the interrogation wears on, particulars of the prominent lawyer's personal life, and his complex relationship with his young wife are revealed. On the quest to discover Hearst's innocence or guilt, the film features tense duels between Hearst and Benezet, and an inventive retracing of events leading up to the murder while set against the lovely, exotic backdrop of San Juan.

Disappointing duel between two fine actors, who are not helped by the hyperkinetic style of the director. The result is much less compelling then the French original The Inquisitor/Garde à Vue (qv).

Disappointing film.
Very disappointing, the end made no sense what so ever. Would not recommend this film. Such a shame as expected more from these actors.
