Verdict on Beyond Suspicion
Beyond Suspicion is a crime thriller following a former cop searching for clues to clear his name. He finds himself dealing with a host of threats from agencies he wasn’t prepared to take on, but will for answers.
This is a slow thriller that points everything in the same direction. Nothing really feels like a mystery and we don’t see the pure scale of the threats. The performances are solid enough, however, by the end of the movie it gives us a simple outcome.
Final Thoughts – Beyond Suspicion is a by-the-books thriller with no real mysteries.
