Le crime défendu

We liked this film so much that we watched it again when it was shown a second time on television. We liked it because the perpetrator was truly a victim and our sympathies stayed with her throughout the grueling investigation. The actress (Arquette) was believable, necessary for our sympathy and understanding. The dialogue was "right on." It made sense, but was also well written. The camera views and angles were something we appreciated, as in most good films. Like a Greek drama, we knew who committed the crime right at the start but it is the unraveling, the whys, that make it so riveting. We wish there were more films like this - gripping yet understandable.

I Know What You Did is the story of a tough female lawyer who's specialty is proving obvious raper's innocence. That is until she is raped & when he thretens to rape her again she stabs & murders him. In a panic she gets rid of the body & tells no one. She then understands the absolute extremes of all emotions a rape victims entails. Further complications arise when a witness blackmails her. This rollercoaster ride of a thriller is a nonstop power trip with an excellent performance from Rosanna Arquette & an excellent script. It's hard to believe such a strong motion picture was made for TV but don't miss it.
