Hard Time
Hard Time (1996) is an erotic crime caper film.
John Bradley and
two friends steal a very expensive jewel collection. He returns to
his wife (Meilani Paul) only to be arrested. The jewels are stashed
in a safety deposit box, and he has one of the two keys.
Unfortunately, he is serving a ten year prison sentence. He imagines
that he was set up by one of his partners, and takes the fact that Meilani has stopped visiting to mean that she and the old partner
are doing the nasty.
His cellmate warns that he needs to create an
alternate reality in his head to survive prison, but he chooses
instead to escape, with the help of one of
his partners. As he is driving away from the prison, he picks up a
hitchhiker, Devin DeVasquez, who shares the ride to LA, and
eventually his bed. Unfortunately, she was the main squeeze of the
nastiest prison guard of the bunch, fled him, and he is chasing her.
The same guard was
also John Bradley's main nemesis on the inside. Bradley stops off to
thank the partner who helped him escape, and is treated to a lap
dance by the partner's girlfriend (Jacqueline Lovell).
Finally in LA,
with the help of a friend, he locates his wife and
arranges to get all of the jewels and get even with those who set
him up. Then there is the ending, which I will not reveal.
The story here is relatively strong for a soft core, but the
nudity and simulated sex are substandard, If you are a fan of any of the
actresses, you won't be that pleased with their level of exposure,
but if you want to see them trying to act in dialogue-heavy dramatic
roles, this is worth
watching. Devin DeVasquez actually did show some dramatic range.

The Accused
Sarah Tobias (Jodie Foster) is a young woman who flees a bar. Taken
to a hospital, she reports a rape having occurred and is put through the
routine hospital examination. The perpetrators are arrested. Her
lawyer, Kathryn Murphy (Kelly McGillis), has little regard for Foster
and soon accepts a standard plea bargain deal for the rapists. Upon
finding this out, Foster feels betrayed and lets McGillis know that she
wanted more. Kathryn gradually begins to have a crisis of conscience
about her prior actions, not helped when she learns of Sarah's repeated
problems.
Realizing that she may have betrayed her client's trust, Kathryn
subsequently intends to prosecute those men who had cheered and clapped
and urged on the rape as a form of criminal solicitation. Her bosses are
skeptical that such a case can succeed, but Kathryn is determined to see
it through. However, Kathryn fears that Sarah's background may make her
a problem witness in any trial. One potential witness, a young man who
had observed the rape, is torn about his stance, on the one hand loyal
to his friend, plea-bargained to a lesser charge and in jail, and on the
other wholly outraged at what his friend had proven himself capable of
doing. Kathryn knows that this young man will be a key witness. Indeed,
when the trial begins, it seems that the testimony of this one male
witness may determine the verdict.
