Spoilers ahead
Henry Hearst, portrayed by Gene Hackman, finds himself in a precarious situation just before delivering a significant speech at an exclusive gathering in Puerto Rico. He is summoned to the police station to answer questions regarding the discovery of a young girl’s body, who had been brutally raped and murdered the previous day. Leading the inquiry are Victor Benezet, played by Morgan Freeman, and the younger Detective Felix Owens (Thomas Jane). As the interrogation unfolds, Hearst’s accounts shift repeatedly: he was jogging with a neighbor’s dog, he stumbled upon the girl, or perhaps the dog made the discovery. With each inconsistent statement, the police begin to suspect him of the heinous crime.
