Summary: When the writing is good
Review: ABOVE SUSPICION is a good film. I give five ***** to the main characters including Reeve, Joe Mantegna, and Kim Cattrall. Ms Cattrall proves that nudity properly employed serves to contribute to the plot rather than distract you from it. Mantegna has to handle the old cliche role: "I'm a better cop than college-trained Christopher because I'm a street cop." He does a top drawer job of keeping the "street cop" role on balance. I thoroughly enjoy a movie when the writing is good. In ABOVE SUSPCION the writing was good . . . super . . . the very best suspense entertainment. It was the best suspense movie that I've seen in years. You might find--as I did--that you'll be rooting at one time or another for all of the characters along the way.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Above criticism; hardly!
Review: Above Suspicion is a terrible movie with a weak script, poor acting and not a convincing story line. The only redeeming factor is that Reeves plays his role pretty well. Other then that, Above Suspicion is pretty forgetable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Captivating drama with outstanding performance from Reeve
Review: Christopher Reeve turns in an excellent performance in this captivating drama with sometimes-predicable twists. Nevertheless, the ending will surprise you.

Definitely, this movie is worth watching.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: very cool...
Review: I caught the end of this movie on tv a while back and the ending has always stuck with me. I could never find this movie at any local store so I just decided to buy it on amazon(it just arrived and I just finished watching it).This movie is excellent, many twists and turns, fine acting by Chris Reeve(R.I.P Superman)and the rest of the cast. Also, like I said before it features a very cool ending...kinda chilling...check it out!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good drama-thriller.
Review: I liked director Steven Schachter's TV movie "The Con" very much so when this movie was on TV, I decided to see if it was as good as that one. It was. It's about Dempsey, a policeman, who gets shot and, as a result of this, paralyzed in his legs. He gets depressed and the fact that his wife and his brother have an affair doesn't make things better (it's sad and ironic that Christopher Reeve actually got paralyzed not long after this movie was finished).

The movie has a good story, I won't tell you too much and spoil it for you, and all of the actors are very good. The movie was co-written by William H. Macy who also appears in a small part (he also co-wrote "The Con"). It works well both as a good thriller and as a drama. Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The perfect...crime?
Review: This movie is sooo well done! An awesome cast: Joe Mantegna, the very sexy Kim Cattrall, and, of course, Christopher Reeve. Most importantly this movie has a great story. Just as you know, in a Bruce Lee movie, that he's [Lee is]nearly invincible, you know in this movie that Christopher Reeve's character is sharp as a tack, squared away and "wearing his game face". Joe Mantegna is a most worthy adversary. This is a masterfully crafted suspense movie. Kim Cattrall is devastating [steamy&cold-blooded]. You'll want to be in Chris Reeve's corner.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Prophetic movie about Reeves in wheel-chair.
Review: This movie was Christopher Reeves last movie before his freak accident that left him paralyzed. The acting is what makes this movie great, but you must get by your emotions during the brother's affair with Reeves' wife. Definitely not for children.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Terrific thriller with a strong role by Christopher Reeve.
Review: When a police detective (Christopher Reeve) got shot and he becomes crippled from a bust gone bad. He fined to a wheelchair and clinically depressed. When his unfaithful wife (Kim Cattrall) Cheats on him with his brother (Edward Kerr), when he finds out, he goes on a revenge and everything are not as they seem to the Ex-Police Detective.

Sharply directed by Steven Schachter but the real winner goes to Screenwriters: Jerry Lazarus, William H. Macy (Boogie Nights, Jurassic Park 3) and Steven Schachter. Also actor Joe Mantegna gives a fine performance. Made for Television from the Home Box Office (HBO) Network. Grade:A-.
