action

Richard Beck is a tough Seattle cop whose methods aren't always the best. He also advocates sexist prejudices and the opinion that rape is more of a minor offense and that raped women are their own fault, because they would have wanted it no other than to have sex. One day, however, when he was chasing two drug dealers and ambushed them near Battery Street , he was rape himself. From then on he tries to process what happened. Since he operated without backing and was not even on duty, many of his colleagues are now of the opinion that it was his own fault, as Beck thought about raped women who, for example, were traveling alone. For this reason, his father has absolutely no pity for him. Rather, he is helped by the psychologist Barbara McKee, who had previously severely criticized him and his methods.

criticism

“Thematically not uninteresting, solidly played television film; staging, however, simplifying and striking in the reversal of the situation, which should make men understand the fear, humiliation and despair of rape. "

- Lexicon of international film

“The crime thriller emphasizes Beck's psychological development, but it also contains brutal scenes, at least in the uncensored version. Crenna received an "Emmy" for his convincing performance. Conclusion: written tightly and played grippingly. "

- TV movie

“This film is well made as a teaching aid. Crenna manages to portray a wide range of emotions in his difficult role. But one problem with this film is [...] that Beck is a better person after his rape than before. He's warmer, more human, more understanding, is a better father, and interacts better with his ex-wife. He grew from his personal catastrophe. Maybe that's a little optimistic. "
