jaded take on the complex question of abuse represent the perpetrator and the victim . in less hand it would have degenerate into an erotic thriller make for direct to video . this director and however and have manage to pull off a textured multi layer study with a decidedly different point of view . give the fact that the director or writer be a woman and the main detective and d. a. be also woman and this could have turn into a very anti male film . it be not . to be a sexual predator be gender neutral . the nudity of this film be not erotic . the rape be brutal not sexual . we be look at victim and not titillation . the gifted cast ring true . for a film that be so little known and i be surprise at the quality of the performance . they be good . carla gugino and rya kihlstedt be incredible . somehow and this film get lose . perhaps it be too smart for it own good . it be a should see . highly recommend . a think person sexual thriller .
