A true story worth watching and will make for thoughtful thinking

First of all I liked Above Suspicion!

I read some of the reviews and I don't agree with analysis. I'm not sure what movie they were watching but they were highly critical and it didn't really match what I saw and experienced!

I thought Amelia Clark did an amazing job from Queen to somewhat of a white trash abused woman that was stuck in the life that she was trying to get out of!

Obviously the FBI agent was some kind of narcissist who had mental problems that not only lead to getting involved sexually with a female informant but also lead to tragic results because of his involvement with her. There is something definitely psychologically wrong with that person: I've seen him on interviews.

Overall: it was a very sad movie of a sad situation for many parts of this country where people have been left out: out of jobs and left with no alternative but to turn to drugs for money and other criminal activity just to survive!

Susan Smith was one of these real life people that wanted to escape and thought her FBI agent was her Knight in Shining Armor but she had chosen somebody even worse than the abusive husband that she was married to.

You can take this story and multiply it by thousands of people and their friends and family that are stuck living in poor economically depressed areas with people uneducated and untrained and desperate that has led to opioid drug addiction and not to be able to leave their rural areas!

Watch the movie for the true story and quit making comparisons of other movies and roles people have done and just take In the whole impact of the story and then I think you'll feel the way I do.
