Will someone Please tell me the ending of "Under Suspicion" (Hackman/Freeman)
ac...@lancnews.infi.net
I got to the ending when he's "confessing"; then, I have to leave
briefly; getting back, I'm just in time to see that someone told the
cop something after which he tells the suspect he can go home.
What EXACTLY was the message? Who did it? Was his wife somehow
involved with the murders?
Thanks. It seems like any other time, I have no problem finding a
review with spoilers, but I can't seem to find one on this one.

Someone had just come in and told the cop (Freeman) that they caught the
guy who did the murders, some younger guy that was completely uninvolved
in the Hackman-Freeman scenario. That happens as Hackman is confessing in
the other room. It's deliberately ambiguous, but the best I can tell is
that Hackman's wife was sure Hackman had done the murders, and so planted
evidence in an attempt to frame him. Or maybe she was just mad because of
the incident with her niece and decided to get even. Hackman realized he
couldn't get past the hatred she had for him and/or the evidence she
planted so he confessed.

Frankly, IIRC, there were so many flashbacks, suspicion-muddling, and did-
he-didn't-he innuendo, I gave up caring - it was somewhat given from
near the middle of the movie that the ending had to be "unexpected" - just
because the writing cntering on hackman seemed to have painted itself into
a corner.
Was glad for the perspective though - thx for the clarification.
