Title: Decaffeinated &#65533;Pure Formality&#65533;
Product review: It seems to me that "Under Suspicion" was inspired by the great French film "Pure Formality". There are a lot of similarities between them. In both movies there is a "duel" between a suspect and interrogator. Both movies are set in the police station. In both movies there is a psychological drama and an unexpected finale. Also there is a love story and a final redemption of the main character. But the French movie has an otherworldly and mystical twist while "Under Suspicion" stays totally secular.Although "Under Suspicion" is not a complete lemon, the ending is a big disappointment. On the other hand, in "Pure Formality" not only acting is great; but the ending also is awesome. If "Under Suspicion" is worth watching at all, it is only because of some interesting filming techniques and great soundtrack, inspired by the Puerto-Rican Carnival. Both Hackman and Freeman are good actors, but their talents unfortunately were wasted in this film.
