It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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?

This was a twisty, curvy, throwing all kinds of unexpected things in your face kind of film and I liked it. The whole plot was a surprise, because what you think is happening isn't and even when you think you know what's going on that's not it either! The script was well-done because the whole thing is a mystery unfolding inside another mystery. The cast was excellent and they did a good, believable job with the roles. *SPOILER ALERT* At the end, the only thing that irked me a bit was that these brothas basically ended up playing into the overall stereotype, even if it was ingenious but then again they had the very best reason in the world. So there ya go. A thoroughly entertaining flight of fun

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!

I'm giving this a 10 to fix the rating, cause this movie at the very LEAST deserves a 7.5 to 8. The intensity of the two black "suspects" actors at times is truly impressive. They really pulled a stunt on acting here. It's hard to get into details without spoiling the fun, so it'll have to suffice to say that the characters are very believable. Even those sad stereotypes that don't get a lot of time on screen are eerily realistic, sadly. However what makes The Suspect truly great is the plot line. It would really be best you go into this movie without knowing anything about it. That way you can relish in all the plot twists, which are all very clever and original.If you did already read a synopsis however, you'll still have your fair share of twists which come rather unexpected. So what's there more to want for a good crime thriller than good, believable acting paired with an original story filled with twists and turns? Go watch it and hate/thank me later.
