synopsis
On the eve of a carnivalesque festival on a small Caribbean island, Police Captain Victor Benezet is interviewing a prominent tax attorney, a former colleague who has discovered one of the victims in the biggest murder case of the aging Captain's career. Though the attorney is expected nearby at a lavish fund-raising party, he agrees to the meeting--what begins as cooperative conversation between peers, soon descends into a night of intense interrogation between fierce adversaries, as the attorney slowly becomes the prime suspect. While the attorney's beautiful wife Chantal waits nervously amidst the growing energy of the festive party, the Captain, along with an eager Detective, embark on a heart-stopping journey through the attorney's family secrets, trying to determine his guilt or innocence. But even after the Captain and the Detective are sure they've found the answer, they find that the truth is other than it seems, leading to even more painful revelations.

December 11, 2000
Under Suspicion, a remake of Claude Miller's 1981 French fave Garde Vue, uses a Caribbean festival as a backdrop for a mesmerizing mind teaser about a police captain (Morgan Freeman) who tries to goad a prominent tax attorney (Gene Hackman) into confessing that he raped and murdered two little girls. Hackman and Freeman will pin you to your seat.PETER TRAVERS
Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman face off in an alleged mystery-psychodrama that comes up innocent on both counts. Story Two young girls are dead, the apparent victims of a serial rapist-murderer. Called in for questioning is Henry Hearst (Hackman), Puerto Rico's most prominent tax attorney. Hard-nosed cop Freeman and his loose-cannon assistant (Thomas Jane) smell a rat -- Hearst's alibis don't add up, his Internet activities are on the barely legal side and he hasn't made the French Connection
