Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs:
After returning from his errand to get Henry a "Cold Drink", it seems detective Owens carries a large Styrofoam cup with a lid attached by pinching the lip at the top of the cup and swinging it as he walks. It would seem to prove that this was a prop - the hollow sound as it hits the table adding to the effect. In fact, the detective holds a can of soda as well, and he places it behind the cup.

User Review
A potential spellbinder and one of Hackman's best performances
Rating: 8/10
Most of this dialogue-intensive film takes place in an
office in a Puerto Rican Police Department with a top
detective (Freeman) grilling a wealthy attorney (Hackman)
about the rape/murders of young girls. Featuring
outstanding performances by both principals and technical
and artistic excellence, the film's story unfolds piecemeal
as it scrutinizes the Hackman character with painful
deliberation while holding out the "whodunnit" carrot until
the very end. More mature audiences with an appetite for this type of film
are likely to find "Under Suspicion" a
spellbinding tour de force by Hackman.
