Well made crime-drama (with some film noir thrown in) with solid performances from Liam Neeson and Laura San Giacomo. Not crazy good but still I was entertained throughout. **3.75/5**

Good. <em>'Under Suspicion'</em> does fall flat towards the end due to the writing, but the premise is an interesting one for sure. I did start feeling underwhelmed as the film progressed though, despite it still producing a decent neo-noir crime thriller. Liam Neeson is more than satisfactory in the lead role, with Kenneth Cranham supports suitably. I did like Laura San Giacomo too, while Maggie O'Neill (is it just me who thinks she looks like Lorraine Bracco here?) also features. Could've been far greater, yet still worthy of a watch.
