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.

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.
