Above Suspicion

Away from the story of the whole movie, Emilia Clarke's performance was great, her accent was amazing and made me feel she wasn't British and she had born in Kentucky.

Definitely captured the lure with this actress, very seductive and attractive. Sad that it's a true story. I love true stories, this really delivered the feelings of all that happened as best it could for sure concerning the victim. The FBI agent not so much but yes. Don't miss out. Watch it.

Based on a true story it's a good film with the two main stars carrying the story well. Exciting and leads up to the surprise ending which was a little rushed imo.

Some of the reviews have been quite harsh saying that it doesn't represent the facts accurately but I haven't researched this at all so happily accept it for what it is

I haven't finished to watch it but there is something consistent in the story that won't change even at the end, yes you got the little southern American town, prefabricated trailer park houses, the bit up trucks, parties with lowlife red neck cocaine sniffer and the obligatory kids you feel bad about because of "such parents", the good looking smart girl who asks herself "why was I born in such a hell hole I am beautiful and smart I deserve everything or at least more", they all work, but, that trailer really should be much messier and dirtier, considering there are 4 adults and 2 kids living in there, parties with dozens of people and no one that ever cleans it , is quite a big trailer but still, so it's a bit to polished and put up, Emilia does a good job but those beautiful straight white teeth when she smiles are a bit like that trailer, wants to sell you something is not there,

Let's get the pun out of the way - this film is not above suspicion: small(relatively) budget, no huge action sequences, no special fx, no CGI dragons. OK, that's the pun out of the way. In my hazy recollection, this type of thriller was popular in the 90's. The fact that this is a true story is frightening and it adds to the film's impact. Emilia Clarke is really good. I've only seen her in Solo, Last Christmas, and Terminator Genisys. Sorry, haven't seen GoT yet. She's researched her character disturbingly well. Phillip Noyce is a master wizard who chooses the right lenses and framing. He only amplifies the natural lighting. He understands how to pace a story. He knows the best ways to make a smaller film seem 'cinematic'. The supporting cast are very good and cover a 'delightful' range of characters. Johnny Knoxville won't be nominated for an Oscar but he has an undeniable screen presence. It's not a cinema classic, but there's plenty good in this modest production. IF you can keep your expectations in check, you'll be rewarded.
