This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Sorry, but if this type/style/genre of movie is going to be the new standard then let's bring back the crosses and burn them on the front lawns and record the socio-traumatic effects on the Certain Ethnic communities. Let's get the full impact as we diagnose what happens when we tell the law that I can walk the streets after a shocking event as a "White Man" with no ID covered in gasoline and tell the authorities to go F@@@ themselves in their line of duty no less. Let's develop a new concept for getting needed monies by stealing professionally and tell them how to do it. Remember one very important fact NOT made. You steal from a FDIC secured bank here in the states and the FBI is called first! Why wasn't it done here and why didn't the locals contact the State Police to confirm the so-called collegiate study and its potential outcome? Because it would NEVER happen for if it did you would be doing hard time. Better yet how about a movie where 2 Non-Black individuals go to the hood and pretend to shoot a known drug dealer and study the effects of all parties involved. Only they use blanks and return the coke back to the dealer?

There truly are some dizzy viewers out there! As a film producer myself, I gave this film a 9, and that's because my only issue was that some of the emotional scenes didn't feel genuine. Other than that, this was a BRILLIANTLY written and performed film...PERIOD!How can you be confused with the time jumps? IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT'S THE PAST...and the lighting of the scenes change SIGNIFICANTLY when it's back to the present. WOW! The story was absolutely one of a kind. People are criticizing the woods in the South not really being the way they are in the movie...REALLY??? That's what you're basing your rating on??? smdh. I think the low raters might be mad at something else...like accuracy in the film. *shrug* GREAT MOVIE!!!

"The Suspect" has all the polish and professionalism of some grad-school student's final project for a PhD in Cinema.The premise of the movie is so improbable and loopy that it requires a complete suspension of disbelief even to get through it. However, I won't reveal what that premise is, for to do so would be to engage in the biggest plot spoiler since "The Crying Game." All I can tell you is that it involves two African-American men who may have robbed a bank in a rural Midwest community. "May" is indeed the operative word here, for it turns out there is far more to the story than what appears on the surface.If all that sounds somehow intriguing, then I'm doing more justice to the movie than it actually deserves. I don't question the good intentions of those who made the film, but it so ineptly directed and so badly acted, so filled with screeds and bromides about racism and justice, and so bogged down by over-earnest plotting and a confusing time-shifting narrative, that even the best of intentions can't make a silk purse out of this particular sow's ear.I've deliberately avoided identifying the individuals responsible for "The Suspect," both those in front of the camera and those behind it, and I wish them nothing but the best in their future careers in movie-making. But I doubt anyone will be rushing to claim credit for this underwhelming, if well-intentioned, cinematic misfire.

First, let me say that I can't believe some users are posting such low reviews after having admitted to not even seeing the entire movie. They must be impressively psychic to know exactly how the movie ends without watching it all the way through! Their scores make the movie seem bad to others that may only just look at the composite score out of 10, when in actuality it is a very gripping and intriguing movie. Advice: Don't initially look too much into the plot (watch it cold like I did). Just sit back and enjoy everything as it unfolds. Don't judge anything while watching or wonder what makes sense or not. Don't try and scan for possible continuity errors. Don't mindlessly check Facebook or casually invest your attention to this movie. Don't think you know it all or are better than everyone (or possibly just better than everyone you are watching). Just watch and take it all in... This movie does all of the thinking for you and will even remind you as it goes with brief flashbacks to something a character has said. Save all of the aforementioned "don'ts" for when the credits roll and only then should you reflect back on the movie to gauge whether or not it was a valid use of your time and attention.I stumbled across it on Netflix and put it on very late into the night (actually, early morning) expecting it to be just the sleeping pill I needed. To my surprise, I remained riveted as the sun rose on the next day. Oops! Anyway, I'm glad I didn't miss out on this very smart film. Enjoy!
