Under Suspicion is a 2000 American film directed by Stephen Hopkins. The movie stars Gene Hackman and Morgan Freeman in the lead roles.

he film centres on the rape and murder of two girls in San Juan. Captain Benezet (Freeman) questions an upstanding lawyer (Hackman) about the crime, turning a ten-minute interview into a gruelling interrogation. Monica Bellucci plays Hackman's beautiful young wife. Hackman, a wealthy, influential attorney in a small town who falls under suspicion for the rape and murder of two little girls. He is the only suspect, but the evidence against him is circumstantial. As the city celebrates the San Sebastian Festival, the police inspector who is investigating the double rape/murder case, brings the lawyer in for questioning; at first politely, and then less so, as the interrogation team chips away at the suspect's alibi. They interrogate him for hours while Hackman continues to maintain his innocence.
The film is set in San Juan, Puerto Rico, although inexplicably, none of the leading characters are Puerto Ricans, including it's Police Chief Captain Benezet (Morgan Freeman) or his Detective Owens (Thomas Jane). Quite why it is set in Puerto Rico is unclear, other than the excuse to have a street carnival constantly raging outside the buildings. The question of why Jane's character - Detective Owens - is immediately (and throughout the film) overly hostile to Hackman is again unclear. Hackman's high-flying lawyer reacts (quite unconvincingly) to Owens' rudeness and clumsily incriminates himself, it is hard to believe that such an experienced lawyer at the top of his profession would behave like this and be so easily provoked. Monica Bellucci gives an understated performance but also seems out of place in this vaguely South American setting as we are seemingly meant to presume that all the main cast are locals.
The ending of the film sees that Hackman's character is innocent, with the real killer of the underage girls found 'red handed', caught in the process of killing another young girl. The end of the film is where you see Hackman rejecting his wife, presumabley because she also thought, along with the policemen that he was guilty.
