What critics compared Guilty by Suspicion to
Director Irwin Winkler, who'd previously given us a political movie without politics (Guilty by Suspicion) and a remake of a classic noir without atmosphere or flavor (Night and the City), here gives us a thriller without thrills, though Sandra Bullock in the lead and the putative theme—the paranoid possibility of deleting people's public profiles from computer networks—may keep you intermittently interested.
Longtime producer Irwin Winkler, whose first two forays into the director's chair ("Guilty by Suspicion" and "Night and the City") were well-crafted but lukewarmly received by audiences, brings more to this genre work than is needed--or even desired.
