FBI guidebook: Never sleep with an informant.
29 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is the dramatization of a true story for the late 1980s in Kentucky. It isn't a pretty story, it is about a new FBI agent from Connecticut being assigned in rural, small town, backwoods Kentucky. He is out to get a local bank robber who has gotten away with one too many.

The most interesting thing is British actress Emilia Clarke's performance as the drug addict informant who seems to like to play both sides of the case. Even though I don't live in Kentucky I've encountered enough of those types over my years and she is remarkably good in the role. In fact I'd say her performance is the main reason to see the movie.

At home on DVD from my public library. My wife skipped.
