Review of Above Suspicion

Ciarán Hinds is one of those actors I always enjoy watching, and he does a good job here. The problem is that the setup - particularly the sexual interplay between Hinds' character, DCS Langton and Kelly Reilly's DI Travis - lacks conviction. The supporting actors are good and the stories are the usual twisting and turning plots. Some quite gory, some more convincing than others. Direction is a bit patchy with a sense that Kelly Reilly was left adrift. At least the soundtrack is refreshingly low in overused ambient pad washes. It could have been really good, but it didn't really pull together. A shame, but I've seen worse.
