Gutsy film that is gut-wrenching. Not for the faint-hearted. Well done and thought-provoking
A rape victim seeking justice. A young woman is gang-raped in a bar. But charging the perpetrators with rape may not be a good idea because, frankly, the young woman may well have been asking for it. Does dressing and acting provocatively mean that you deserve to get raped? This film addresses the moral issues attached to rape very effectively, and features excellent performances from Kelly McGillis as the District Attorney tasked with pursuing the line most likely to meet with success, and Jodie Foster as the victim. Jodie Foster sears the screen as a gang-rape victim. The rape scene is self is brutally staged but unfortunately that what was needed here. Effective performances from everyone involved, including the men who are villains, pragmatists, and weaklings. The movie shows how our society stigmatizes women, but also reminds us never to give up hope. Perfect.

Jodie deserved the Oscar! Great talent!!
First off I admit I'm biased; I own just about all her movies no matter how small her part. She did a fantastic job portraying the range of emotions a woman must feel in that situation. The rest of the cast did an amazing job as well. Edge of your seat kinda movie. Sad that our society has gotten so brutal and uncaring; and that was 20 years ago. Today it might end up on utube.

The Accused
Being a victim was her only crime. What are the limits of justice ? Of social responsibility ? The Accused takes a powerful and thoughtful provoking look at human nature and individual moral conscience, and a judicial process that treats the victim like a criminal. Sarah Tobias, who is gang-raped in the back of a neighborhood bar. But that is only the beginning of her ordeal. Now Sarah finds herself battling the legal system, not once but twice as she and her attorney go after both her attackers and the onlookers whose cheering fueled and encouraged the assault.

Incredible Movie
The story is one all too often happening in what should be a safe country in which to live. The actors portray with depth a very disturbing subject of academy award winning quality.
