Trial by Jury (1994)
A rare and believable psychological thriller
Nothing like the main-stream Hollywood thriller. The characters are actually notably changed by the shocking experiences they experience, and not just enraged.
It is a rarely nuanced look into female psychology. Comparable to "Bound" in that sence. They don't "kick ass" they have other priorities, different goals, different drivers - but not so different methods...
It's realistic, surprising and entertaining. The actors shows a depth which I miss in most Hollywood productions. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer and William Hurt are great - much better than their main-stream appearances.
Take your time to see it. It won't change the way films are made, not break any records, but you are likely to come out with a different view on women.
(Make sure to watch in 'Scope :-)
