Product Description:
No matter the cost no matter the danger. They will find the truth. A Supreme Court Justice takes his own life. A woman is found dead the victim of a grisly murder. 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 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 answers 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.System Requirements:Running Time: 121 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: R UPC: 043396058576
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - ***I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!***
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!!!
Rating: - Great coupeling of two great actors
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.
Rating: - Suspect
Love this movie. Hate that it is only offered in full screen. I WANT WIDESCREEN!!
Rating:  - A decent movie....
A lawyer given a pro-bono case that turns into a harder case than expected. The defendant is not what he seemed to be when the case was taken. The movie has a nice plot twist at the end.
Cher did a pretty good job of pulling this movie together. It is not a family movie because of the language and intense scenes.
Rating: - Suspected
Reasonably entertaining with a good cast and decent story. The problem is it seems familiar and you probably won't be surprised. Back at the time it was made it was fresh enough to warrant your full attention, but now you may find yourself distracted. Cher plays a decent lawyer, Neeson does okay as a homeless veteran, and Quaid is a reasonably good lobbyist. However; no role is a stand out. You will feel like it is a TV movie you have seen before. By all means rent it. You may not have seen that ... Read More
