Suspect scripting

The Suspect (2013)

Written and directed by Stuart Connelly this film stars Mekhi Phifer, William Sadler, Sterling K. Brown and Derek Roche. After a bank is robbed in a small town in the mid west United States an African American man is arrested.

I am sure there is plenty of interesting things still to be said about race relations and prejudice in America but this film does not really explore that area and is more interested in being a twisting crime piece. Sadly the plot tips it's hand far too early in this film so you are never really guessing as to what is going on. What this film really needs is another go at the script and a re-ordering of when information is given to the viewer.


2/5
