    Basically the film explores how society reacts when a woman from a blue collar background (Warren) accuses a prominent small town doctor (Hannah) of rape. On a larger scale it is also an exploration of problems involved in many rape cases, where the accused is a prominent individ...( read more)ual, and the victim becomes not only a victim of her attacker, but of society as a whole. Estella Warren is pretty good as the victim. She's no tiny prey, but a tall, full-bodied, and abrasive young lady. She doesn't know the meaning of the word "simper." She turns into a positive pest, and that's what the role calls for. John Hannah, as the doctor, comes across as not much more than another seasoned actor. He's not bad, but he doesn't bring anything extra to the role. The direction is competent too. There's no confusion about where we are or who's doing what, and no unnecessary displays of directorial razzle dazzle. The story is told without unmerited garnish.

    You Can Alter The Evidence, But Not The Truth.

    It's horribly disturbing to think a doctor could do something so terrible because, after all, doctors are supposed to be people you can trust. So to know that this movie is based on a true event makes it even more alarming. B...( read more)ut, what upset me as much as the actual attack itself was the reaction of the townspeople and that poor girl's own family. People are so unbelievably ignorant and passive. But, this movie was executed well enough and the actors and actresses were pretty good. It's crazy what this doctor did to try to stay out of jail.

    Based on the real life Dr. John Schneeberger, a Canadian doctor convicted of using drugs to rape two patients.

    If you think this Movie was boring and the plot stupid, you are A MORON. Pay attention or leave if it bores you Dammit.

    It was so powerful! I love it because it shows what life is really like for some people. It's not scary scary.

    A very well acted drama fact based film on a girl who is sexually assaulted by her doctor. A great cast in this film. A film that is very well done.
