Summary: Jodie Foster is hot in this sexy thriller
Review: If "Pressure Room" left you wanting to see more of Jody Foster, check out this earlier work of hers from the 80's. It's a compelling film, though I couldn't buy the filmmaker's argument that pinball leads to sexual aggression. That's a theme which has been run into the ground and proved wrong through research. But this is the movies, and movies are supposed to entertain. This is a very entertaining, sexy movie. If you're a Jody Foster fan or just a fan of sex thrillers you'll love this DVD.

Summary: An Unforgettable Learning Experience
Review: Jodie Foster and Kelly McGillis star in the unforgettable 1988 film "The Accused". Its plot of a young woman, Sarah, getting raped and struggling to get past it is emotional through every second. Its hardhitting scenes, namely the rape scene, hold enough power to hit audiences' hearts like nothing else. Such events express truth in the court system about rape cases. It teaches audiences that it's difficult to convict rapists, even with a lot of evidence. The emotional stance of the film is true. The trauma and fears during and after is expressed to the fullest. Every struggle keeps audiences interested in every event, leading to a surprising conclusion. Its certain graphic scenes were necessary to film to show the issue's depth. The details prove that the writers researched rape to its fullest, which deserves them tremendous respect.

Jodie Foster's Oscar winning role (Best Actress) as Sarah is one of her career bests. She performs with every drop of heart and soul that adds to the film's powerful message. Kelly McGillis's role as Sarah's determined lawyer is wonderful. However, she was wrongfully overlooked by the Oscars for Best Actress. As a real-life rape victim, she used her own life experiences as influence for her performance quality. It resulted highly powerful. All other actors, major or minor, also performed their roles wonderfully.

"The Accused" is a great film for everyone to watch. This is sure to touch many viewers for a long time. Afterwards, keep the film playing for a few more seconds after it ends. The rape statistics shown are interesting, yet shocking.

Summary: A familiar story expertly executed
Review: Jodie Foster deserved an Academy Award nomination with her role as young Sarah, who gets gang-raped in a sleasy bar one night.

Kelly McGillis plays the district attourney who takes Sarahs case and starts a battle to get the truth uncovered. This is hard, as Sarah is repeatedly been accused to have encouraged her assaultants and is been considered to be a bad witness because of her intoxicated condition during the crime and her previous police record involving drugs charges.

The story is familiar, predictable and lacks in the field of credibility. It manages to somewhat avoid sentimentality, though, even if some of it's still aparent.

The acting performances are good and Jonathan Kaplan's directing is well paced and talented.

All these aspects turn an otherewise horrible picture into a watchable one.

Rating: 5 stars
