I Accuse Trailers

Kimberly Jansen is a single mother who lives in a small Canadian town. After cutting her hand at a party, she visits the hospital to seek what she assumes will be routine treatment. Instead, she falls victim to a predator in a white coat: Dr. Richard Darian, who drugs her and rapes her while she is asleep. Kimberly attempts to press charges, but the townsfolk and the local police, who regard her as a tramp and respect the doctor, dismiss her accusations.

Don't waste your time. It's loosely based on the true crime perpetrated by a doctor on one of his patients. What is unfortunate about this film is that the producers changed the facts probably just enough so they would not have to pay the actual victim, Candice Foley, for the rights to her story. This true story is accurately portrayed in the documentary series "True Crime: The First 72 Hours" which airs on National Geographic Channel. You get all the facts in riveting detail and in less than half an hour. Also, Lona Manning penned a very good article on this case, "Rapist, MD", which you can read at crimemagazine.com, an excellent site with substantial information of criminal, legal, and judicial content.

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.

I like watching movies. I go to the local video shop and see titles that might interest me. I come back home, before I rent, and come on to IMDb and read reviews to, hopefully, get a true reflection of the movie. If ever I have been given a bad reflection, it is with this film. This is a low budget T.V. movie. Nothing more, nothing less. Not a bad movie. But I could have waited until it was shown mainstream. I hope it was very loosely based on a true story, because the credibility was just not there. I would hasten to add that I hate reviews that go on about the cinematography etc. etc. etc. All I want to know is "did you enjoy the movie". My final comment is, watchable movie, not completely a waste of time, but wait till it's on television, and catch it, or don't. You won't miss too much.

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.
