![]() ![]() She will make sure to be the center of Putnam’s thoughts and attention, by constantly manipulating him, which will lead to her faking a pregnancy, and will ultimately be the cause of her demise. However, they both start to fall in love with one another and begin an affair, which will lead to Smith being obsessed with her. Mark Putnam is played by Jack Huston, and arrives in the town of Pikeville, Kentucky to solve a drug case, in which Susan Smith becomes his star informant. She lives with her ex-husband Cash ( Johnny Knoxville) with her two children and shares an abusive relationship with him, as Susan is addicted to hard drugs Cash is dealing. The film is a stagnant, repulsive and highly caricatured chronicle of a tragic event, featuring appalling performances from a star-studded cast.Įmilia Clarke plays Smith and narrates the film from the great beyond (the only time that ever worked was in Sunset Boulevard), which is already a sign that the movie isn’t going to be any good. With his latest film, Above Suspicion, based on the true story of the murder of informant Susan Smith by FBI Agent Mark Putnam, Noyce doesn’t seem to care anymore. After the highly underrated Salt in 2010, Noyce’s career took a rapid nosedive with The Giver-one of the dullest Young Adult book-to-screen adaptations released in the last decade. In the late 1980s-1990s, Phillip Noyce delivered a slew of entertaining actioners, which include Blind Fury, an American interpretation of the highly popular Zatoichiseries starring the late Rutger Hauer and his Jack Ryan diptych starring Harrison Ford: Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, the very best on-screen Tom Clancy adaptations. ![]()
