I Accuse

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. .

This unfortunately is a very true story about a woman in Canada and her ordeal with a medical person. The movie might be a bit boring to some, but it was interesting to find out how this ended. If anyone wants to know the true story, you can find out about it on a show called "Forensic Files". It is always absurd when a woman is seen as a tramp or the town slut out to ruin a man's reputation or career. I am not sure why men always try and discredit a woman as she says that something has happened to her at the cause of a man. If you have a mother, sister, niece, aunt, grandmother and they went through a terrible ordeal, would you not believe them? To be violated in such a brutal manner is painful just to hear about it, but women go through it every day.

Unfortunately, I first saw the episode in tv as an episode of Forensic Files, one of the best stories in fact (Season 6 episode 18 calles Bad Blood). I say unfortunately because I was expecting the movie to be at least as intense as the episode on tv but it wasn't at all. Besides the fact that they don't even tell the whole story in the movie. The doctor raped his step daughter as well and the real Kimberly was much more likable. I feel like they wasted the opportunity to tell an incredible story.

"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.

The script was simplistic and predicable. The characters are stereo typical. The acting was flat and had very little depth. Although it is based on a true event the story still needed some work There was no clear reason for the ending, as it was not explained at all why it ended as it did.
