Under Suspicion

Under Suspicion

A lawyer is asked to come to the police station to clear up a few loose ends in his witness report of a foul murder. This will only take ten minutes, they say, but it turns out to be one loose end after another, and the ten minutes he is away from his speech become longer and longer...

Quark Brutal says: "Under Suspicion" delivers a compelling narrative that keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. The plot is intricately woven, presenting twists and turns that challenge the audience's perceptions at every corner. Characters are well-developed, each bringing their own unique motivations and complexities to the story, which adds depth to the overall experience. The performances are particularly noteworthy; the cast exhibits a strong chemistry that enhances the tension throughout the film. Each actor embodies their role convincingly, pulling us deeper into the moral dilemmas and suspenseful situations they face. However, while the acting shines, some moments feel slightly overshadowed by pacing issues that detract from an otherwise gripping tale. The film manages to maintain a steady rhythm, but there are instances where it lags, causing moments of disengagement. Despite this, "Under Suspicion" still offers enough intrigue and drama to satisfy fans of the genre. The cinematography complements the tone beautifully, enhancing both suspenseful and emotional scenes with skillful direction. Overall, while it may not be a groundbreaking entry in its field, "Under Suspicion" succeeds in delivering an entertaining experience bolstered by solid performances and a captivating plot.
