Synopsis:
Director Stephen Hopkins' (LOST IN SPACE) crime
thriller is a remake of the 1981 French film GARDE À VUE,
and is adapted from John William Wainwright's novel
BRAINWASH. On the evening of the San Sebastian festival in
San Juan, Puerto Rico, wealthy tax attorney Henry Hearst
(Gene Hackman) is supposed to attend a charity ball with
his lovely, much younger wife Chantal (Monica Belluci),
but is called to police headquarters. The previous day,
during his morning run, Hearst discovered the dead body of
a 12-year-old girl. Captain Victor Benezet (Morgan
Freeman) and the explosive young Detective Owens (Thomas
Jane) say

| they
merely want to clarify some details in Hearst's statement.
However, when the questioning begins and Hearst stumbles
over his answers, it is evident that the police suspect
Hearst is involved. As the interrogation wears on,
particulars of the prominent lawyer's personal life, and
his complex relationship with his young wife are revealed.
On the quest to discover Hearst's innocence or guilt, the
film features tense duels between Hearst and Benezet, and
an inventive retracing of events leading up to the murder
while set against the lovely, exotic backdrop of San Juan. |
