Full Plot Details

An intended rape victim manages to escape from her attacker but leaves her purse behind. Worried that he may visit her house and finish what he has started, she contacts the police but they are unable to help, saying that she has no proof. "If he calls, let us know and we'll send a man round!" A fat load of good that would be. Her worst fears are realised when, alone one day in the house, her attacker visits and attempts again to rape her. Circumstances allow her not only to resist the attack but to turn the tables and lock him away. And that is where her dilemma really starts. Does she release him and risk another attack? Does she go to the police and risk being called a liar? Or does she kill him - and become as low as him?

Movie Reviews

The Associated Press - 9/10 by Dolores BarclayOriginally an off-Broadway play, EXTREMITIES projects the powerful rancor of the play, but the film also retains some deadening theatricality that doesn't work on screen.
New York Times - 8/10 by Walter GoodmanTHE smashing, crashing, thrashing battle between Farrah Fawcett and James Russo that takes up about half of Extremities leaves the contestants in a state of exhaustion -and the movie along with them.
ColeSmithey.com - 6/10 by Cole SmitheyProof that Farrah Fawcett could really act!
MovieMartyr.com - 5/10 by Jeremy HeilmanIt at once wants to be a feminist tract against the exploitation of women and a vessel that showcases that exploitation.
Los Angeles Times - 4/10 by Sheila BensonAnger? Outrage? Are these new feelings for audiences dealing with the fact of rape--aborted or not? You might hope not, but if they are, the film generates them, as well as the shamefully satisfying taste of bone-cracking revenge. But they still don’t add up to reason enough to make a movie, or to make it in 1986.
Chicago Tribune - 3/10 by Dave KehrFawcett isn`t half bad--she works hard and doesn`t commit any egregious technical faults--but she doesn`t have the resources to give her slimly written character a sufficiently commanding inner life, and it`s difficult to get beyond her sunny, fashion-model good looks. It`s another sad case of the clown who wanted to play Hamlet.
Washington Post - 3/10 by Paul AttanasioExtremities pretends to be a serious movie, and in a film culture where women are routinely exploited and revenge is taken blithely, it is, at least, a departure. But we don't learn anything about men and women, or revenge, from "Extremities" -- we just watch people score debating points, to the tune of J.A.C. Redford's stale TV-movie score.
Chicago Reader - 3/10 by Pat GrahamThere aren't any flesh-and-blood characters here, only superimposed attitudes: it's almost like reading a rape-crisis textbook, with every lesson italicized.
User Review - 10/10 by Ice RLed by a great performance by Farrah, this movie is really great.
User Review - 10/10 by angel mFarrah Fawcett Iss the best VICTIM Ever!!! She Blows all the norm of acting away in her performance She has the snott running and the constant fear and tears she was the most flexible in emotion of any female actress I have seen ..

It is stumick turning from beggining to end Stunning Emotionaly stunning is all I can say .
