Under Suspicion (2000)

On the same night attorney Gene Hackman is scheduled to give a speech, San Juan police captain Morgan Freeman brings him in for questioning with regards to the rape and murder of a young girl. Inconsistencies in his story make him a prime suspect, a situation that is not helped by his much younger wife Monica Bellucci’s willingness to cooperate with the cops. While it’s by far not the best work either of the actors has done, especially with the torridness of the story, it’s still a chance to see the great actors play off of each other. Regardless the strength of the film lies in its twists which do not lay out the solution to the mystery until the end.
