Heart wrenching movie

I recently watched this movie and found it to be an excellent movie. Both Mary McDonnell and Gail O'Grady were superb. I always thought Mary McDonnell was a great actress, but the character she played in this movie showed all the more her acting abilites. I felt this movie helped to shed some light on the continuing problems plagued by women in the world. It showed that you don't have to be quiet like a mouse and that you can stand up for your rights! Worth buying. July 15, 2008

The saga continues...

This is a wonderful FACT based story on the history of breast implants that were never approved by the FDA. It is the story of greedy manufacturers that hide the real scientific facts so that they can continue to make the almighty dollar. They seem not to care that often they are causing devastating ill health among unsuspecting patients. Unfortunately we are 12 years out since this movie aired, and the battle for a SAFE breast implant continues. October 9, 2007

Disappointed

I was disappointed with this movie. The story lacked depth even though it covered an interesting topic.

Gail O'Grady's acting was as superb as ever, but the real disappointment was Mary McDonnell's contribution to the movie. Her acting really let the movie down.

Perhaps if another actor was used to play Mary McDonnell's part, the movie would have been better. August 8, 2007
