Review of Under Suspicion (2000) by John M — 10 Jan 2014
Remake of a 1981 French film, this thriller traces the investigations of a wealthy tax attorney on his discovery of the corpse of a dead 12 year old and who is treated as the main suspect on the evening of a charity ball he is supposed to attend.
The sparks of the film's intelligence in handling the intertwining storyline which unravels in the space of a restricted time setting is admirable and keeps the film interesting. Despite all this, the film moves frustratingly slow and still doesn't seem to give the audience a real reason as to why we should either hate or sympathise with the characters and their aims throughout its course.
