What can I say about such a wonderful movie. The storyline is quite simple right from the start. Sarah (Foster) entered a bar, and came out... after her rape.

An instant classic. Worth watching every mi... read more

Ultimately rewarding but hard to stomach.

When she learns that the rapists have plea-bargained their way into a lesser charge (meaning that the rape never officially occurred), the woman and her lawyer take a novel approach: they prosecute the "spectators" for encouraging the criminals. Jodie Foster won deserved acclaim for her performance as Sarah Tobias, a hard-living, fiercely independent woman is gang raped in t ... (more)

" Sarah Tobias goes to her local bar and is gang-raped by three men. The district attorney on the case is Katheryn Murphy who wants to prove that although Sarah had taken drugs that night and was acting provocatively while in the bar, this is no reason for her to be so brutally attacked and the men responsible should be brought to justice The film, featured earlier performances by Kevin McNulty, Gerry Chalk, and Scott Paulin, with the film being filmed in and around Vancouver, British Columbi"
