Amazon.co.uk Review

Liam Neeson's battered gloomy features make him a natural for film noir, and the 1991 Under Suspicion makes exemplary use of him as Tony Aaron, a private eye headed for the death cell. Part of the film's strength is its 1959 setting--this is a past where people are hanged, where homosexuality is a crime and where people fake adulteries to get divorces. One such faked adultery leads to the death of Aaron's wife and their client. His own chequered past--he was thrown off the force for getting a colleague killed--means that most of the local police want him to be guilty. Only his best friend (Kenneth Cranham) even begins to be prepared to believe in his innocence and the possible guilt of the client's mistress, Angeline (Laura San Giacomo). Where Under Suspicion is content to recreate the seedy Brighton of the 1950s, and lives trapped by an unthinking puritanism, it is excellent. Unfortunately, much of this emotional power is dissipated by an over-elaborate plot in which artists' signatures, interlocking scams and extortions play a large part. --Roz Kaveney

Completely gripping thriller with a twist.......2006-12-08

I am astonished to be the (apparently) first person to put a review on this....15 years after the film was released. Under Suspicion has to be one of the most memorable, cleverest thrillers we've seen in a long, long time; maybe even as far back as Dressed to Kill. The whodunnit plot is excellent and full of red herrings, the acting utterly convincing, film noir screenplay outstanding and the twist at the very end left us open-mouthed and immediately we re-wound the tape and watched the film all over again. I think this actually is Liam Neeson's finest performance, even better than Schindler's List. The courtroom/jail scene is compelling. I think the critics must have been asleep to write anything less than what is written here.

King of the killer Bs!.......2006-12-08

You either get this film, or you dont. If you get it, you'll love the manic tongue in cheek dig, not only at the movie business, but at the B movie business!

Fred Olen Ray loves movies, and clearly adores the B movie genre so much that he must be crowned - King of the Killer Bs!

Can you say fast-forward?.......2005-11-16

A failed spoof on Sci-Fi genre luckily, this is a movie about how to make movies. It is designed to teach you how to keep your actresses from losing their heads, or from losing any other appendages.

The movie's main thrust seems to be concentrated on upper torso frontal extensions (several pair). While observing this movie, I learned about the fast forward button. And suggest you do the same.
