Great thriller!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Under Suspicion (DVD)
I have never understood why this picture has not gottent more of a following. It truly is a masterpiece in its genre.I must confess that I have not seen the DVD, but have viewed the video many times. It is a pitch-perfect drama. All the actors are superb, particularly Liam Neeson as a low-life ex cop turned private investigator/divorce fixer, and Laura San Giacomo as femme fatale. The plot is complex, unexpected, and well constructed. I've introduced it to a number of friends, and they have all enjoyed it thoroughly (and stayed on the edge of their seats!).

'LA Confidential' set in late 1950's England.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Under Suspicion (VHS Tape)
Liam Neeson stars in a dank little shocker of seamy sex and violence. If you enjoyed the vivid underbelly of Los Angeles in the '50's as strikingly portrayed in 'LA CONFIDENTIAL' you may enjoy this star turn for Neeson set in England in 1959. Neeson portrays an ex-cop, Tony Aaron, turned private eye who makes the rent my staging acts of infidelity between his actress wife and respectable British society. Seems '50's England was definitely a fault based divorce system and Neeson shags the cash photoing his wife in bed with Barristers and other men desirous of shedding the old marital ball and chain. He then perjures himself testifying to the infidelity so that the elite can receive a divorce. The paint hits the canvas one cold rainy night when an international artist hits the sheets in yet another photo op with the open minded Mrs. Aaron and they are both found blasted and bloody in dawn's early light by the shocked and demoralized PI. The suspects are; Neeson's character Tony, the artist's lover Angeline played confusingly by San Giacomo, and the artist's bitter angry wife. Neeson's character investigates the murders aided by his former police partner and during the film beds the mistress, is beaten senseless by the police, is convicted of the murders and sentenced to hang . Can't tell you much more than that without ruining this suspenseful character study. Neeson is wonderful, complex and dead on hot. San Giacomo is too young for the part, looks unfocussed and uncomfortable in the period dress and doesn't generate the kind of heat that is necessary to be believeable. She's no Kim Bassinger. The R-rating is the result of the adult, tight, complex little plot that includes; scenes of Neeson's character Aaron a buff, a double homicide murder scene and the graphic enactment of a shotgun suicide. If you're over 18 and looking for film noir set in somewhere other than LA check out 'Under Suspicion'.

A Great Whodunit,
By Jay Gerak "Jay Gerak" (Lake Barrington, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Under Suspicion (DVD)
This is an excellent movie featuring actors who've become much more well known since they made this one. Liam Neeson's hard-luck private eye is an extremely sympathetic character who really is played for the patsy. He knows he's getting screwed all along, but can't seem to do anything about it. The ending is satisfying and make the movie. Don't miss it!
