Suspect is an endearingly silly suspense movie with an excellent cast. Cher stars as Washington, D.C., public defender Kathleen Riley, who is beginning to question the meaning of her career. (Before you prejudge, she's perfectly believable as a lawyer. It's the overtly Irish moniker she can't quite pull off.) A murder victim is found in the Potomac, a mute homeless man (Liam Neeson) stands accused, and Riley gets the case. Can it be that the homeless guy is innocent? Can it be that this whole thing just might go right to the top? I don't want to spoil it for you, but I think you know which way the smart money is betting. Luckily Dennis Quaid is on the scene, playing that rarest of creatures, the heroic congressional lobbyist. Suspect has a refreshingly cheerful disregard for courtroom procedure, the rules of evidence (apparently it's OK to root around crime scenes and pick stuff up), and you could fit the Capitol dome itself through some of the holes in the plot. But once you're comfortable with the fact that you're in a world where special movie laws apply, it's a very enjoyable flick. Watch it in good health and remember: if you're going to question a highly dangerous homeless man in a terrible neighborhood, for heaven's sake do it alone in the dead of night. --Ali Davis

Underrated movie- Liam Neeson is GREAT March 14, 2010
agent210 (Bay Area, Ca)
I really like this movie. I watched this movie again when it showed up on Encore. Liam Neeson is such a great actor and to play a role where everything he does has to be read by his face and body language with Cher is such an under appreciated quality.
They don't show blood and guts to make this a great movie- they tell a story. Its very hard in today's immediate gratification world to find movies that tell stories without giving the plot away in the first 30 minutes.
Cher and Liam have good chemistry...I enjoy legal thrillers and movies that are still enjoyable even after I know the ending....
The movie is worth watching....check out John Mahoney ( Frasier's dad) as a judge.
 One of Cher's best performances, a winner in this movie October 30, 2008

No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Danger. The Truth Will Start Unraveling Itself Little By Little. This riveting story reveals ,
a Supreme Court Justice Takes his own life.
A woman is found dead, a victim of a grisly murde A homeless Vietnam vet stands accused.
Kathleen Riley (Cher) is an overworked Washington D.C. public defender who needs a vacation. Instead, she is assigned another case. But this is no ordinary crime, with no ordinary criminal.
Lobbyist Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid) gets saddled with jury duty just when a critical bill is coming up for vote. While on jury duty, Eddie discovers evidence critical to Kathleen's case and contacts her outside the courtroom... a real violation of the law.
Bizarre evidence leads Kathleen on a dangerous trail from Washington's seamy underbelly to the highest levels of government. And the closer she gets to the answer, the more her life is in danger.
Cher and Dennis Quaid take the law into their own hands in the daring suspense thriller where everything is revealed in court... except the truth.
Cher is wonderful and so is this movie October 16, 2008
R. Pepper (Los Angeles)
I have watched this film several times since purchasing, and I always find if just as entertaining and suspenseful. It's one of those films that never gets stale. The main draw here is Cher who is always a joy to watch whether in film or in music. I loved her role and the story as a public defender trying to prove a mute, homeless man innocent of a brutal murder as she searches for clues, trying to uncover the truth. In a male-dominated cast, it's great to see the strong woman go up against all the men in the name of justice. And those courtroom scenes are such fun to watch. Definitely worth owning! Also recommended with Cher: Silkwood with Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell
***I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!*** June 28, 2008
C K (N Indiana)
This is one of the best performances Cher ever gave on the big screen. Interesting plot and a genuinely frightening edge-of-your-seat "stalking scene"... Highly recommended!!!
Great coupeling of two great actors June 15, 2008
Anthony J. Marzullo (Lebanon, MO USA)
I really enjoyed this movie. Cher did an excellent job and I really enjoyed the suspense, the action and the acting from not only her, but also Dennis Quaid and Leemon Neeson. They were great together which made this a very enjoyable movie.
