The kid would not have been prosecuted and her Mom was already DEAD so the whole premise made no sense to me.

I agree with ur review. Since, the film is trying to bash right wing ideology, it seems to be embraced by majority of the reviewers. The ending of the film makes me feel stupid the watch this movie. It makes the audience to think that Rachel's steadfast attitude is not to protect the source but protect herself even though it is costing her life, her child's life and the Erica's child. These kind of films should be banned. Saw ‘Nothing but the truth’. I agree with ur review. Since, the film is trying to bash right wing ideology, it seems to be embraced by majority of the reviewers.

Nevermind what you think has inspired it and whether or not it matches that story. This is unimportant. Nothing but the Truth is great craftmanship on so many levels.

I enjoyed the thrill of the political intensity in this film. Kate Beckinsale is amazing. I Hyped Nothing But the Truth on Everhype and gave it 92% which I think is fairly accurate. http://www.everhype.com/hyper/thebitch?X=M849 I wouldn’t mind getting some opinions on it . If you get on there, rate me a 5 & request friendship. Very suspenseful! I enjoyed the thrill of the political intensity in this film. Kate Beckinsale is amazing.

Would you mind notgiving away the film's ending. It would help others who have not seen it... of course, you have every first amendment right to refuse my request :-) Cheers, rod Dear karina-
