The spoiled Kelly (Denise Richards; "James Bond 007: The World Is Not genung", "Cry if you can", "Starship Troopers") has a crush on her teacher Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon; "Something About Mary") thrown. Just at the moment when she is half naked in his house in front of him and he is amazed Bauklötze the scene faded black - and the audience has no idea what happened when Kelly obviously confused and destroyed from Sam's house running. A few days later, she shows him of rape - and as he also is a second student who loner Suzie (Neve Campbell; "Scream Scream," "Three to Tango"), the rape accused his guilt appeared to confirm , But during the trial the girls caught up in the cross-examination of Sam's lawyer (Bill Murray, "Groundhog Day", "The spirits that I called") in contradictions - and the process takes a surprising turn: Sam is acquitted and conceded compensation in the millions. But that was just the beginning - in this beginning to think first of a 08/15 TV thriller. But the story goes so on. Suzie was murdered namely little later and a (seemingly) not so emulate wealthier cop (Kevin Bacon; "Sleepers," "Picture Perfect Picture Perfect") believes in a abgekartertes game and determined further - and in fact does not seem the whole thing to be very clean , And who is the real mastermind behind the whole plot is revealed only in the last seconds of the film ... Rarely has there been a movie, we'll see on the Hitchcock works which seem to be misleading the audience so often and so mean! Because just when you think you have seen through the opaque plot, a new refined twist comes in the story - and the audience sits stunned back where he started, to recommend. The occupation leaves nothing to be desired, some very erotic scenes set the whole thing on the crown (the only thing that Hitchcock has not in common with this masterpiece). Really awesome, a thriller with style and class. Guess with;) !!
