Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe 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).
- GoofsPolygraphs 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.

Featured review
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.
