La parola all'accusa

I really like Estella Warren as an actress, but I felt that her lines were awful. I mean, her character in the movie was so obnoxious that I felt little sympathy for her and I definitely couldn't relate to her. The movie was kind of neat because it was a true story. I am from Saskatchewan and I remember hearing about the incident on the news. It was good that they did a lot of filming in Saskatchewan and I even know one of the guys that they had play a scientist, which is really neat. The movie could have been good if they had made Estella Warren's character more likable and more like a real person. The other characters were quite good and I liked how they made the whole DNA part look so scientific.

This made for TV movie is perhaps one of the best factual accounts that I have watched in a while.

The story of a single mother brilliantly played by the beautiful Estella Warren is one of those film that won't let you look away for a second. You cant keep you eyes off the screen. Yes I did find it that good.

The plot consists of a single mother ( Warren) who after a quarrel that turns physical with her boyfriend, goes to the local emergency room for treatment. The doctor on duty.played quite well by John Hannah sedates her (Warren) and rapes her. she goes to the police who initially doubt her story . Doctor Darian (Hannah) is something of a local "darling" and almost the entire town sides with him and against the victim. (Warren). The Doctor uses his good relations with the local authorities to defame his victim, and uses extreme measures to elude prosecution.

Forced to relocate she then embarks on a crusade to prove that she was in fact raped by the Doctor. Needless to say the Doctor continues with rather creative ways to pass DNA tests. Not getting justice from the authorities she goes and hires a private investigator to get her due justice.

I will not divulge further details since many readers have not seen this film.

The courage and perseverance of this woman, in seeking justice is truly inspirational.

This is a true story that to the dis-credit of many societies happens quite often. Something we all need to fight for change. .

A good pace and important true story that holds the audience attention.

It is not a Hollywood budget, but the powerful story and good acting help make that irrelevant.

It is sad that this woman had to go through so much.

There is room for improvement but I feel it comes down to budget.

A good movie.

Enjoyed the movie on Movie network Sunday Nov 30/03. Felt that the flashback scenes to the rape was shown too many times. Once would have been enough. the point was made. Estella Warren did a good job in her role. Reminded me of an Erin Brockovich type character but of course in a different vain.

"I Accuse" is based on a true story. The story is about Dr. Schneeburger who drugged one of his female patients and raped her. But the twist was.... there was no DNA evidence. I saw it on "Forensic Files".

This is a well-written and acted interpretation. Estella Warren plays the victim named Kimberly. She is partying one night and has to go to the hospital after cutting her hand. She wasn't treated, but drugged and raped by Dr. Darian (John Hannah). Kimberly has a bad reputation around town as a tramp and no one believes her. She can't press charges because there's no evidence. John Hannah and Warren put in excellent performances.

Hannah plays the evil doctor without going over the top. The mystery aspect is well-handled, but the courtroom scene near the end is a little over-dramatic. Overall, worth seeing for the acting and interesting story.
