Plot: British filmmaker Peter Yates directs Suspect, a suspenseful courtroom drama set in Washington, D.C. After a Supreme Court justice commits suicide and a Justice Department secretary is found dead, a deaf-mute homeless veteran, Carl Wayne Anderson (Liam Neeson), is the suspected killer. Lonely yet dedicated public defender Kathleen Riley (Cher) is assigned to the case to represent Anderson. Suave lobbyist Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid) is on the jury, but he starts his own investigation by finding clues that prove Anderson's innocence. He shares his information with Kathleen, even though they could get arrested for talking about the case. Eventually, they develop a romance and reveal a conspiracy that leads to a twist ending. The mysterious conclusion involves a final courtroom scene presided over by Judge Matthew Helms (played by character actor John Mahoney, who would go on to co-star on the sitcom Frasier). ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

No Matter The Cost, No Matter The Danger. The Truth Will Start Unraveling Itself Little By Little. This riveting story reveals ,
a Supreme Court Justice Takes his own life.
A woman is found dead, a victim of a grisly murde A homeless Vietnam vet stands accused.
Kathleen Riley (Cher) is an overworked Washington D.C. public defender who needs a vacation. Instead, she is assigned another case. But this is no ordinary crime, with no ordinary criminal.

Lobbyist Eddie Sanger (Dennis Quaid) gets saddled with jury duty just when a critical bill is coming up for vote. While on jury duty, Eddie discovers evidence critical to Kathleen's case and contacts her outside the courtroom... a real violation of the law.

Bizarre evidence leads Kathleen on a dangerous trail from Washington's seamy underbelly to the highest levels of government. And the closer she gets to the answer, the more her life is in danger.
Cher and Dennis Quaid take the law into their own hands in the daring suspense thriller where everything is revealed in court... except the truth.

Cher is wonderful and so is this movie
Added 10/16/2008

I have watched this film several times since purchasing, and I always find if just as entertaining and suspenseful. It's one of those films that never gets stale. The main draw here is Cher who is always a joy to watch whether in film or in music. I loved her role and the story as a public defender trying to prove a mute, homeless man innocent of a brutal murder as she searches for clues, trying to uncover the truth. In a male-dominated cast, it's great to see the strong woman go up against all the men in the name of justice. And those courtroom scenes are such fun to watch. Definitely worth owning! Also recommended with Cher: Silkwood with Meryl Streep and Kurt Russell

This is one of the best performances Cher ever gave on the big screen. Interesting plot and a genuinely frightening edge-of-your-seat "stalking scene"... Highly recommended!!!

I really enjoyed this movie. Cher did an excellent job and I really enjoyed the suspense, the action and the acting from not only her, but also Dennis Quaid and Leemon Neeson. They were great together which made this a very enjoyable movie.
