Acusado
Trama
En la era de las redes sociales y la gratificación instantánea, un sentido de comunidad y justicia puede ser malinterpretado, lo que lleva a consecuencias catastróficas. "Acusado" profundiza en este tema explorando las repercusiones de la obsesión de una sociedad con la venganza y el vigilantismo. La historia comienza con una acusación injusta, provocada por un perfil falso en línea que se propaga como la pólvora a través de las plataformas de redes sociales. El acusado es un joven que se encuentra a merced de una multitud enfurecida que busca hacer justicia por un crimen que no cometió. A medida que la caza de brujas en línea gana impulso, el protagonista debe navegar por este terreno traicionero para sobrevivir la noche. Con el peso de la opinión pública sobre él, nuestro héroe se embarca en una búsqueda desesperada para limpiar su nombre y exponer la verdad detrás de las acusaciones fabricadas. Su viaje está lleno de peligro, ya que se enfrenta a un ejército anónimo de ciber vigilantes, que no se detendrán ante nada para castigar a su enemigo percibido. A lo largo de la película, el director Steve McQueen entrelaza magistralmente temas de justicia, moralidad y los aspectos más oscuros de la naturaleza humana. El resultado es un thriller apasionante que explora los límites entre la realidad y la ficción en la era digital.
Reseñas
Iris
The premise of an innocent man wrongly accused, coupled with the fact that it's based on a true story, forms the main, and perhaps only, selling point of this film.
Kai
8.5/10. This woman looks every bit the murderer, but she didn't break the law. The justice system, the medical profession, the media – all are culpable. People are easily led by subjective feelings, overlooking the truth of the event. Predominantly blue tones, except when the film shifts to orange-yellow as the protagonist is finally released and the truth is revealed. A shocking and moving film. 02/09/2017

Compared to cases like Nie Shubin and Li Jiuming, the ordeal of nurse Lucia seems almost insignificant.
Jack
Adapted from a sensational Dutch news event, "Accused" delivers a compelling narrative arc, starting with a conviction and leading to an unexpected reversal. While the film points a finger at systemic corruption within the healthcare system, it ultimately stops short in the face of formidable obstacles. The movie is tight and efficient, well-paced, and powerfully direct. However, it falls short of delving deeper into the complexities of the case and the performances. There's a significant emotional impact – a ray of hope piercing through the darkness. ★★★☆
Arya
7.3 This film ticks all the boxes for a theme and values that resonate with mainstream American society, making it a smart choice for an Oscar submission. However, compared to other American films tackling similar subjects, the script falls short in dedicating enough scope and depth to exploring the psychology of the two main characters. This deficiency creates a disconnect between the audience and the characters, weakening the empathetic impact.
Parker
The film Accused masterfully blends the chaos of a witch-hunt with the cold reality of a revenge-driven society. As the protagonist navigates the storm of accusations, it’s a harrowing yet thought-provoking exploration of guilt and survival in an era where everyone is a potential target. The commentary on modern paranoia and the thin line between justice and madness is starkly relevant.
