The Suspect - BLU-RAY

A small town bank robbery leads to a brutal showdown between a sheriff and a mysterious stranger in this high stakes game of shifting identities and hidden motives, starring Mekhi Phifer (ER), William Sadler (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) and Sterling K. Brown (PERSON OF INTEREST). When the obvious suspect is apprehended not far from the crime scene, the police think that the case is solved, but they couldn't be more wrong. The real crime hasn't even happened yet. Before it's over, two desperate men will be pushed over the line where innocent lives, and a lot of money, hang in the balance.

After a judge apparently commits suicide and his secretary is found murdered, a deaf-mute homeless man (Liam Neeson) is arrested for the crime and put on trial. When a public defender (Cher) and juror (Dennis Quaid) assigned to the case are drawn together, they suspect that the accused man is innocent-uncovering a shocking trail of corruption, lies, and danger along the way. John Mahoney, Joe Mantegna, Philip Bosco co-star in this taut thriller from director Peter Yates. 122 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Re-creating the aristocratic splendor and devastating poverty of 18th century France, David Wark Griffith weaves an emotionally charged tale of two delicate souls caught in the tempest of revolution. Lillian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourceful Henriette and the blind Louise, who leave their countryside home for Paris in hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the lecherous Marquis de Praille (Morgan Wallace), Henriette is abducted and the women are tragically separated in a city on the brink of anarchy. With the help of a kind-hearted nobleman (Joseph Schildkraut), Henriette endeavors to find the helpless Louise, but cruel fate repeatedly thwarts her efforts. Griffith exploits their heart-wrenching dilemma with masterful skill, crowning the drama with political intrigue, spectacle, and his usual degree of social moralizing (staunchly disclaiming any parallels between the French Revolution and recent waves of InchbolshevismInch), drawing the multi-layered epic to it's white-knuckle climax outside the old city gates in Paris, beneath the gleam of the guillotine's scarlet blade. Orphans of the Storm provided Lillian Gish with her final role for Griffith, bringing to a close the long and fruitful collaboration that began in 1912 with An Unseen Enemy (Lillian's and Dorothy's Film Debut).
