Outrage (2003)

Too much of everything

Sick Product of a Sick System

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Well, i watched this movie a few weeks ago, it was really interesting, it caught me, not only for the suspense, but also i identified with the problems, it was like the real life when you think problems never stop and you don't find the solution, and you want to cry, and you feel that you don't want to live anymore, and nobody understands you and its against to you, but a voice in your head tells you "hold on"! problems will finish soon.The movie was beautiful, i loved when the detective discovered the corpse and it was a proof that the woman wasn't lying, so that found her innocence, and until that moment her problems finished, like a solution sent by god. Definitely this movie was better than other high budget movies.

Lainie Wheeler (Alexandra Paul) is a woman divorced and ex-addicted in pills, who lost the custody of her two young daughters. The girls are living in a foster house, and Lainie is trying to get her life and the children back. She has successfully participated of a rehabilitation program, and is working in the production of a TV show. She is assigned to interview Harry Brewer (Jonathan Higgins), a famous baseball player. In the end of the day, while travelling back home, Lainie has a car accident in an isolated road, and Harry coincidentally offers to help her. He invites her to go to his house and call a truck. Lainie accepts the invitation, and Harry indeed wants to rape her. While trying to self-defend, an incident happens with Harry, turning the life of Lainie upside-down, when Det. Webster (Linden Ashby) investigates the disappearance of Harry and Lainie is threatened of losing her daughters. "A Woman Hunted" is a good low budget thriller, having good performances of the cast and a very reasonable screenplay, including an excellent plot point in the end of the story. It is a good entertainment hooking the attention of the viewer until the end of the story. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "A Woman Hunted " (This DVD has not been released in Brazil)

Not a bad thriller, but since it doesn't appear in the credits, on screen or here, it may be of interest that the story, including the twist ending, was lifted directly from a 1985 Mexican/US joint production called TO KILL A STRANGER. The scene has been shifted from Eastern Europe to (apparently) New York and the character of the victim/heroine has been heavily reworked, but the essential shape of the plot remains identical. The details of the child custody conflict have been added to create a barrier between the protagonist and the otherwise likable cops (in the original, the barrier is political). Fairly well acted, and this movie gives Alexandra Paul a chance to work a full menu of emotions. But her boyfriend seems pretty boring.

Lainie Wheeler, a women who's just turned her life around, finds herself on the run as she's suspected of killing the man who tried to rape her. She is imprisoned but as time goes by, new evidence begins to unfold. Not the greatest movie, by a long-shot, but at 4.5/10 it is watchable if nothing else is on. A typical storyline--tortured soul is wrongfully accused of a crime---and as the story unfolds the person is ???? I do not wish to say much more about the movie as any more information would be considered spoiler information. Typical low budget filmed in Canada movie aka soap thriller. I have seen worse movies and "in a pinch" this movie will entertain.
