Johnny Knoxville, Jack Huston, Karl Glusman, and Emilia Clarke in Above Suspicion (2019)
Based on the true story of one of the most notorious crimes in FBI history, this gritty crime-thriller stars Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) as Susan Smith, a young woman desperate to escape a seedy life of crime and drugs in a Kentucky coal mining town. When a newly minted FBI agent named Mark Putnam (Jack Huston, “Fargo”) recruits Susan as his informant for a high-profile case, she believes her bad luck may finally be changing. But as Susan and Putnam’s relationship deepens, so does the danger, setting them both on a collision course with deadly consequences.

    Much better than the current 5.6 rating

    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

    Emilia = $$

    I'll keep this short and sweet. Emilia is stunningly beautiful and talented and I believe she is worth the price of admission on any project.

    Above Suspicion is based on a true story and it's the story you've heard a million times, but it's always happening somewhere. A man gets himself into deep sh-t because of a woman, temptation, etc and spirals out of control trying to keep it all in line.

    I enjoyed this movie for what it was. It's far from perfect, but it's definitely entertaining and worth your time. And like I said previously, Emilia is incredible.

    Emilia Clarke was great

    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.

    Sometimes true stories don't make good movies!

    Cons - true stories don't make for good movies a lot of the time and this is a prime example!

    Yes it is a sad story but not enough substance to make a good movie I in fact I found it boring .

    Pros- Emilia Clarke I was amazed by her command of a Kentucky accent she put in a superb performance in what was a very mediocre film and if not for her performance I would not have bothered to watch the film to the end as the content was not worthy.

    So 5stars is for her and 0 for the film.

    Sexy Strong Emotional. ⭐ 7 (silent ⭐8 because if Emilias contribution)

    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.

    • Trivia
      The true story took place in Pikeville, Kentucky, most famously known as the home of the Hatfields and McCoys. However, most of the film is set in Harlan County, Kentucky, in the Appalachian Mountains, which is most well-known for being the subject of Barbara Kopple's 1976 Academy Award winning film for Best Documentary Harlan County U.S.A. (1976). This area is also known as the setting of the FX series Justified (2010).
    • Goofs
      Polygraphs are not used in confessions. Confessions are verbal, then written. If the FBI do use a polygraph they don't have the subject telling a story. The ONLY responses during a polygraph are "Yes" or "No."
    • Quotes

      Susan Smith: That's the way the devil comes. He don't come to you as evil. He don't come to you on fire. He comes as everything you ever wanted. He comes to you as you.
