Sus is a 2010 British drama film directed by Robert Heath and starring Ralph Brown, Clint Dyer and Rafe Spall.[1] It is set in a police station on the evening of the 1979 general election, where a black suspect is brought in and interrogated on suspicion of murder.[2] It was written by Barrie Keeffe, adapted from his 1979 play with the same title,[3] and takes its name from the sus law in operation at the time.[4]
Time Out wrote "overall this is a well structured, emotionally rigorous piece of filmmaking, and a timely reminder of the dangers of unchecked police power."[5]
