I don't generally love court room drama movies - mostly because the action has already occurred or is referred back to with reminiscing by the characters - however this one was good. Jodie Foster plays a woman who is having a bad go with her current boyfriend and is blowing off some steam by drinking it up at a local dive bar. She's as much a local as the fellas at the bar, however, things get out of hand per her and the drama begins. She claims she's been raped and thus the courtroom drama begins. The movie thrives on character building and a he said/she said story line.
Christian Slater and Kevin Bacon were not in this movie....nor was Jack, Tom, or Demi Moore. Judge Harold T. Stone and Bull were not in this movie. I didn't see Pesci or Macchio either, and no Erin Brochovich.
It's worth a watch. Overall well done and a bit gripping. A good story was developed and followed through. And, Kelly McGillis makes you remember the 80's hardcorps. Look how old Kelly looks now, it's crazy how that girl from the movies in the 80's is now older. IMDB (c) K. McGillis link
