A forgotten twisty Liam Neeson thriller movie is on TV tonight

The film is currently unavailable to rent or stream, so this is your rare chance to check it out.

The film is set in the late '50s in Britain. It sees the Northern Irish actor play Tony Aaron, a disgraced cop turned private detective, whose speciality is faking evidence of adultery for use in divorce cases, a common trick at the time.

In the course of this shady work, Tony becomes embroiled in a double murder, for which he is a suspect.

As such, the ex-cop starts his own investigation into the killings and, in the process, falls for Angeline (Giacomo), another person of interest in the case.

Written and directed by Simon Moore (who penned The Quick and the Dead and Traffik), Under Suspicion was not a hit at the box office or with critics upon release.

That said, it holds a decent 6.4 IMDB score, suggesting it may be worth seeking out for Neeson completists or fans of other similar adult-focused twisty mystery thrillers.

Under Suspicion is airing on Legend Xtra at 10.50pm. The movie is currently unavailable to rent or stream, so this is your rare chance to check it out.
