Extremities [Region 2] Reviews:
Marjore!
2008-03-21 - She beat her attacher off, with the BEST! This reminds me of (The Burning Bed).

Farrah at her best!
2007-03-14 - A must see film starring Farrah Fawcett. I feel she is never given enough credit as an actress. This film is intense and shows another side of the ex Charlie's Angel. She orginally performed on broadway for a year with the play of the same name. One of her best films along with Burning Bed and Poor Little Rich Girl and Beate Klarsfeld "Nazi Hunter".

Farrah Fawcett is AWESOME!!!!!!!
2007-01-04 - Farrah gives a powerhouse performance in this top notch thriller. She doesn't just get even, she gets revenge. This movie proves what a brilliant actress Farrah is, she is riveting in it. I highly recommend this DVD!!!

A realistic point of view
2006-11-06 - Spoilers here:

Let's see what would happen to Farrah's character, assault by the first degree, attempted 1st degree to 2nd degree murder, threaten to do physical violence, kidnaping. She's going to jail for a long time her forcing a confession does absolutely no good, no cops no witness, and it was by knife point with his miranda rights not being read. No cops were called on the scene no lawyer present. He gets away scottfree she goes to jail for 15 years the women that helped go to jail for helping her whether or not they were trying to help or not.

Also the man can now sue all three women for mental anguish and win the sum of $150,000. I am by the way totally against rape and find it extremely appaling and rotten however what she did was pretty much the same. What makes the movie especially bad is they go call the police, who do you think they are going to take away?

Hint it is a blonde suspect white looked to be in her thirties. The police would take one look at the scene and arrest her and send the man to the hospital. They may or may not arrest the man depending on if they can find any evidence on the attack.
Maybe the idiot that created this movie should study law next time before making something like this again.

Tough, brutal film with Fawcett deserving of Award
2006-10-25 - What is it going to take for Hollywood to recognise the artistry of Farrah Fawcett and give her the accolades and awards she is due?. No I am not biased being a fan. Here she is stripped of ALL glamour and make up and performs from the gut. If Charlize Theron could win an Oscar for Monster then surely Farrah deserved to be recognized for this performance, a repeat of a role she took in the Off Broadway production. Extremeties is the story of a woman to exacts revenge on a would be rapist and traps him in her fireplace. Much of the first half of the movie focuses on the abuse that Marjorie (Fawcett) endures at the hands of the 'rapist' (brilliantly played by James Russo) before she turns the tables on him and 'captures' him. Excellent support is provided by Alfre Woodward and Diana Scarwid as the room mates who become embroiled in the saga of whether to kill the rapist or call the police.
Its a tough and brutal film which is hard to watch at times. But, its Fawcett who drives this movie with a solid gut wrenching performance that the influential TIME MAGAZINE described in their REVIEW thus: " her unadorned artistry singes" High praise indeed.
It would have been great if MGM could have added 'extras' to this dvd...where are the commentary tracks or deleted scenes?
