I rented Beyond suspicion when it first came out and forgot I saw it and rented it again.I forgot most of the movie so I didn't mind seeing it again.I also like Jeff Goldblum's acting.It was a nice drama.I liked how it all unfolded.I have often thought how cool it would be to wake up and be someone else for change.To live in their home and live their life.In the movie Auggie Rose seemed to have no family or next of kin and nobody knew of him or anything about him.In the movie John wants to escape his life which is meaningless to him for whatever reason, and either re-invent himself or just be someone else.It was unclear what John was really unhappy with.He had a good job,nice car,friends,nice house and a longterm girlfriend but wanted to be free.I understand he felt sorry for ex-con Auggie since nobody came forward to claim him after he was shot dead. He was being discarded like human garbage and spent 20 years behind bars.John seemed obsessed with this man's life which was the complete opposite of his own.He eventually saw a way to start over and free himself from his own unhappy existence by impersonating the dead man.His new identity as Auggie Rose seemed to make him happy and he finally found himself.

Beyond Suspicion is a different and good movie to watch! Jeff Goldblum, once again put on a fantastic performance! The story is really good. The movie is made pretty good and in My opinion it seemed similar like a Alfred Hitchcock movie! The music by Mark Mancina is very good! If you like Jeff Goldblum, rent this must see movie!

If you are someone who is at a pivotal point in their life, if you are in love, in love with love, or just enjoy interesting twists in plot and romance/drama that keeps you glued to the screen, then this movie is for you.I feel this is probably the best performance of Jeff Goldblum's career, and I am glad that he took this role on since it probably wasn't the type to gain him a lot of exposure. He made a total fluff film in Independence Day so he is allowed :P Anne Heche is surprisingly good. Wonderful actually, I 'feel in love' with her and all she wanted. I sympathize with taking such a chance for real love.The closure provided between Goldblum's character and his 'old life' live in girlfriend was welcome, as they both realized what a sham they were living with before, and that they are happier now.I sympathize with Goldblum's character in other jobs I have done/passed up - he was an insurance salesman, screwing over people with things they don't really need, for a check that will never replace the person.
This movie is a thinker. A story illustrating the human condition. A story about the SEARCH for love and happiness, and what really can make one in love and happy. A story that cuts through the bull (and there is a lot of it!) and reminds you of what is pure and good. It gives you hope. Take the time to see this movie.

Using a plot line similiar to one in one of Cornell Woolrich`s short stories a fine literate screenplay was written.The acting by Jeff Goldblum is superior,as he finds himself in very peculiar crossroads in his life. I hate giving to much of the story away but you will stay transfixed as the screen play unfoldsAnother writer compared this to American Beauty, This is far better, I did not like any one in American Beauty & could care less for any of them In Auggie Rose I liked everyone, even Anne Heche, who is not what I call a great actress, she handles herself very credibly, as all the rest of the cast. Good production values This film is fine entertainment all the way & no explosions or special effects to ruin it. The music score also is quite goodmy rating is ***1/2 It could have moved a bit faster. as always jay harris
