Great movie Jodie Foster,is a hard core rape victim with questionable morals;but none the less a riveting performance of a brutal,true story rape

Nowhere near a classic, but nevertheless a decent crime/courtroom drama that has a point.

Foster refuses to rely on sympathy in this brave performance as a rape victim who also happens to be a bimbo, and Foster and McGillis (as her lawyer) are very good together. The screenplay, however, is kind of obvious and the direction is often exploitative and finally--in the rape sequence, saved pruriently for the end--just plain sleazy.

Jodie Foster's performance is astounding - a well deserved Oscar. The rape scene itself is one of the most chilling and disturbing images I've ever seen on screen - I can still picture it in my head now.

Different kind of rape-revenge movie, but in a good way.

Overall, this film is kind of average. Even Foster's performance, while fantastic, did not deserve to win over such masterful turns as Meryl Streep in "A Cry in the Dark" and Sigourney Weaver in "Gorillas in the Mist." And to all those who think that this film is practically "unwatchable" due to the rape scene need to check out "Irreversible." Said scene in that film makes the rape in this look like a slow dance at the prom.

Powerful and sad.

The movie is not good but you'd better to watch it.

Apart from a pretty good performance by Jodie Foster (Oscar worthy I'm not so sure), The Accused ends up being just average. It wasn't particularly interesting and most of the best of the film comes at the end, and the film didn't exactly make it worthwhile to watch it to that end.

Nice courtroom drama; best remembered today for the startling and effective rape scene. Jodie Foster's performance is pretty good, as is Kelly McGillis. And yeah, it is very 80's so proceed with caution on that front, I guess.

I would recommend this movie based on Jodie Foster's performance. As a courtroom drama it is nothing spectacular but the acting is good.

Quite entertaining, melodramatic plot.

Compelling, with a good (and Oscar-winning) performance by Foster, daring for mainstream Hollywood but still beautifies and commercializes the reality it's supposed to depict. Portuguese-American Cheryl Araujo on whose rape case this is based, is replaced by an ethnically neutral Sarah Tobias. In a plot some describe as "educational", men who cheered and goaded Sarah's rapists are tried, while in Araujo's case (as always in reality) they were never even sought. A little too easy, all around.

Unconvincing problem picture that fails to explore the issues it raises.

Great movie, but utterly unwatchable due to the subject matter.

Not bad.

Unforgettable movie about how truly horrifying rape is

Foster is great but the entire movie feels really manipulative. It certainly provides some good food for thought but it's not something I'm eager to watch again.

This movie makes me want to kill everything.

You'll never quite look at pinball the same way again.

A terrific look at human behavior and the law.

hmmm, ret god - og som oftest er Foster rigtig god...
