Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

***MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS*** The movie "Blind Injustie" tell it all just by its title. A blind women is brutally raped where she, in not being able to properly identify her attacker, then has a totally innocent man sent away for life by mistaking him for her rapist.The rape victim blind law student Diana Scott, Jamie Luner, picks out the man whom she's sure raped her out of a police lineup only by feeling a scare on his forehead. It later turns out, after he was convicted and sent up the river, her alleged rapist bible quoting Malcolm Humphries, Ted Sadomirsky,finds out that there's proof of his innocence. This came to Malcolm's attention through the prison grapevine in that this big mouth, and not too smart, fellow convict Anthony Davis, Thomas Mitchell, has been mouthing off about him. Davis has been going around bragging to anyone within earshot that he in fact committed the crime that the innocent Malcolm is doing time for!The movie gets even more ridicules with Malcolm getting in touch with the women Diana Scott, who's now a big time lawyer, he supposedly raped and who's testimony convicted him. With Diana's and the local police cooperation Malcolm is subjected to a DNA test which wasn't available five years ago when he was tired and convicted of raping Diana. As you would expect the test comes out negative totally exonerating Malcolm of the crime of rape and having Diana go on a guilt trip in having the totally innocent Malcolm put behind bars for five years. It's when Davis realizes that his big mouth has now put him in danger of being tried and convicted of the innocent Malcolm's crimes is when the film, if it didn't by then, completely loses any kind of creditability that he had. What Davis does then is so off the wall and over the top that you start to wonder if it, his actions, are the results of him being out in the sun, on a Florida chain-gang, too long and as a result having his brains stir fried!The film "Blind Injustice" isn't that bad at all if you like unintentionally funny movies that try to take themselves seriously and as a result fall flat on their face in doing it. The horrors of of a woman, and a blind one at that, like Diana Scott being raped is nothing to laugh at or make fun of. The same can be said of an innocent man being accused and convicted of the crime like Malcolm Humphries was in the movie. That person has to live with the stigma of being a brutal rapist in prison which can lead to him being murdered by his fellow convicts, who consider rapist among the lowest form of human life, when his back is turned. It would have been better if the film focused more on the two victims in it, Diana & Malcolm, and how the crime changed their lives forever. Instead the film went completely overboard in making Davis who later ended up murdering some five persons four who were law enforcement officers, in an effort to prevent himself from being charged in raping Diana, the real star of the movie.

This movie was on the Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) which is one of my favorite channels. I was drawn in by the movie and the suspense kept me watching it until the very end. I was very happy that she gained strength from what she went through and became a better, stronger person for it. Many movies like this just show the victim (usually a woman) being a victim and while she was victimized in the beginning, she decides to learn self-defense so she can prevent herself from becoming a victim again. Great for showing that women, especially those with disabilities (aka blind), can defend themselves. It is a great movie!

Blind Injustice stars Jamie Luner as Diana Scott, a blind woman who is raped by a man who breaks into her apartment one night. She presses charges against the man she believes raped her, but the trauma from the rape strains her relationship with her fiancé, Alex (James Thomas--a real hottie!). Theresa Russell co-stars as Joanna, Diana's aunt.I really liked this movie--it showed me some of the daily intricacies a person who is blind may encounter. Jamie Luner gives an outstanding performance--the last time I saw her on TV was on Melrose Place, where she played a villain character, so this was a very different role. It was nice to see Theresa Russell again, and the rest of the actors did a great job. Plus, a nice filming location. Highly recommended. Rex Piano also directed another movie I really like called Found.

I am not a big fan of most Lifetime movies and this is another reason why. They tend to be so contrived that they suck. This one is no different.*SPOILERS!!!*Blind chick gets attacked and puts the guy away. Oops wrong guy. They let him go and he and the blind chick get chummy (big boobs overcome righteous outrage, I guess). Bad guy escapes jail and goes to teach the blind chick a lesson (even though it was he who blabbed he had raped her). Cop goes to warn her bad guy is loose and gets whacked. Bad guy attacks blind chick who proceeds to kick the crap out of him just as the police arrive. She threatens to cut his throat only to use the oldest line in the "I ain't gonna do it" book, "You're not worth it" stabbing the knife into the ground beside his head then she walks away leaving him with said knife and still conscious. Cops bust bad guy before he goes postal again and uses the knife she left him. Wronged guy comes rushing up getting chummy with the blind chick and they retire to the house to live happily ever after.Waste your time with this dreck or rent a really fine, taut thriller called "Wait Until Dark" with the always lovely Audrey Hepburn and a very creepy Alan Arkin. She is a blind woman whose husband receives a doll that Arkin wants back very badly. You won't be disappointed with this one.
