    I watched this with my mom when I was a kid, it would probably be the equivalent of a movie on the Lifetime channel now. It was okay at the time but I know I'll never want to watch it again.

    Here is a film that should have been extremely powerful, but lacked the punch you wanted in a revenge movie. Farrah Fawcett uglied herself down for the role of a battered woman, abused by her husband over and over again. Finally when enough is enough, she torches the guy. Now, she is on trial and telling her story. Yeah, I felt bad for her or anyone in this situation, but it could have been the acting or the dialog or something, but I wasn't moved by any performance, which I was expecting.
