Anthony Hickox goes full DePalma (Do you like... SPLIT SCREEEEEENNNNS!?) with a crackerjack script by Larry Cohen that jumps from hostage horror, to courtroom drama, to paranoid thriller without ever losing its edge. This HBO movie looks more cinematic than the last ten streaming exclusive films I've watched, and they probably cost more somehow.
The subject matter of a woman being forced to carry a pregnancy to term and how a disgusting amount of people support the charismatic psycho that did it, is fucking nauseating because it's not hard to imagine it happening today.

When a woman finds out she is pregnant by a mentally challenged man she decides to have an abortion.
He kidnaps her to prevent her from having the abortion.
The film is actually better than I had expected of to be.

Josh, Yeshúa, Jesús, quien es el rostro, la imagen de la iglesia(más veces a modo de símbolo institucional que ser de fe)contra una verdadera representación de dios, la mujer; que mas similar a dios que la capacidad de generar vida.

Buena película realmente, que sin duda debería ser tenida en cuenta más de lo que se lo hace; en especial en relación a otras a las cuales se les tiene más en consideración.

Lady starts dating an absolute psychopath (Johnathon Schaech), gets pregnant but leaves him after he attacks and rapes her. In true psychopath fashion, he doesn’t take kindly to that. It then becomes Misery with a lot of demented pro-life rantings. She seems to have plenty of opportunities to stab him in the face but doesn’t, and on the rare occasion that she does fight back her reaction is always “Oh no, heavens to Betsy, I hurt him!” Then it becomes a court battle. Just… ugh. The whole thing is maddening and might be one of the most repugnant one of these kinds of thrillers I’ve ever seen.
Watched as part of the MOVIES ON HBO IN FEBRUARY 1998 project.

Not Larry Cohen’s best script by any means but Hickox’s direction really tries to keep your attention throughout with some interesting (and sometimes curious) use of split screens. The trial portion in the middle really drags for too long though.
