She battles the legal system twice as she and her attorney go after both her attackers and the bystanders who cheered them on. Genre: Feature Film-Drama Rating: R Release Date: 28-MAR-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Jodie Foster won her first Oscar for her role in this drama, based on an actual incident. She plays a girl out for a night of fun at a poolroom. Before she knows what's happening, the men she's been flirting with have pinned her down for a gang rape. The story centers on the efforts of a district attorney (Kelly McGillis) to press her case, in spite of a wall of silence by the participants--and then to take the unusual step of going after the witnesses as accomplices. Foster is outstanding as a tough, blue-collar woman who persists in what seems like an unwinnable case, despite the prospect of character assassination for standing up for herself. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent film!The Accused is a great drama movie. It will hit a nerve with anyone who watches it. It gives a disturbing view into the American legal system. It will have you from beginning to end! Once again, Jodie Foster gives a great performance! Rating: - The AccusedBased on a real-life incident, Jonathan Kaplan's hard-hitting drama is an eye-opener, examining a woman's right to exhibit her sexuality, and still not be physically violated against her will. Oscar winner Foster is riveting in a gritty, largely unsympathetic role, and McGillis provides an ideal counterbalance as a somewhat sheltered lawyer whose social conscience gets re-awakened. Absorbing from start to finish, "The Accused" is definitely not for kids or the squeamish. Rating: - Good movie teaching about sexual assault, and also very entertainingI use this movie with clients to teach the implications of sexual assault, and the importance of standing up and doing the right thing. Very entertaining, but intense. Not for a G audience Rating: - Let's Get Serious HereThere are a number of positive facets to "The Accused" such as a challenging legal issue, a crime that is suggested at the beginning but isn't shown until the end, and enough uncertainty about the plot to keep us a bit off guard. However, there are some negative facets as well. I didn't think that the acting, overall, was all that impressive. For example, there's a witness who expresses concern about assisting in an investigation because some of the people involved are pretty scary. ...

A good storyline and great performance by Kelly Mcglllis and Jodie Foster are the plus point of this great movie. Jodlie's performance earned her an oscar and she deserves it. |
