Talk:Suspect (1987 film)

not deus ex machine
Anyone who thinks Suspect has a deus ex machine ending, doesn't understand the term. The tape -- whose existence is established at the beginning, and whose reappearance is neither arbitrary nor particularly surprising -- all-but acquits Anderson. Who the murderer is, is beside the point -- as is the fact it's someone we didn't suspect. If Roger Ebert doesn't like that -- tough. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 00:54, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I agree and have removed the reference to deus ex machine. I did not alter the references to Roger Ebert's comments, although I agree with you on that, as well. The central tension of the movie is between Cher and the judge, so who the murderer is explains the entire movie. Historydude58 (talk) 00:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)Historydude58
