Outrage

Outrage (1993) is an Spanish film staring Antonio Banderas and Francesca Neri, originally titled ¡Dispara!. Neri plays a circus trick sharpshooter, shooting balloons with a rifle while doing stunts on a moving horse. Banderas is a journalist who's doing a story on the circus. No sooner do the two fall into love and lust than three thugs brutally rape Francesca Neri, both vaginally and anally, then rupture her uterus with a wine bottle. Unfortunately for them, they do not kill her. She is a professional circus sharpshooter ... she is armed ... she knows who and where they are.

NUDITY REPORT

Francesca Neri is one of the great mature beauties, and she gets completely naked from several angles.

DVD info from Amazon.

It's a decent movie, and is available on Region 1 DVD, but the dubbing is terrible, so if you speak Spanish, get the original from Region 2. If you don't speak Spanish, wait for a sub-titled version.

So here's a tip for you would-be rapists. Don't violate an armed sharpshooter unless you plan to leave her dead. Since she can shoot a balloon out of a clown's mouth at 100 yards while standing on a moving horse, three auto mechanics don't represent a real challenge for her. She wastes them like the pond scum they are. Unfortunately, the police don't think this is the proper way to dispose of this case, and come after her.

Banderas remains loyal to her to the end. Banderas and Neri were both very good in their roles, and because I cared so much about Neri's character, I didn't like the ending at all, although it was probably the only possible one.

IMDB summary. Voting results: IMDb voters score it 5.8/10,

It grossed about a million dollars in Spain

The meaning of the IMDb score: 7.5 usually indicates a level of excellence equivalent to about three and a half stars from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm watchability, comparable to approximately two and a half stars from the critics. The fives are generally not worthwhile unless they are really your kind of material, equivalent to about a two star rating from the critics. Films rated below five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one and a half stars from the critics or even less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

My own guideline: A means the movie is so good it will appeal to you even if you hate the genre. B means the movie is not good enough to win you over if you hate the genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an open mind about this type of film. C means it will only appeal to genre addicts, and has no crossover appeal. (C+ means it has no crossover appeal, but will be considered excellent by genre fans, while C- indicates that it we found it to be a poor movie although genre addicts find it watchable). D means you'll hate it even if you like the genre. E means that you'll hate it even if you love the genre. F means that the film is not only unappealing across-the-board, but technically inept as well.

Any film rated C- or better is recommended for fans of that type of film. Any film rated B- or better is recommended for just about anyone. We don't score films below C- that often, because we like movies and we think that most of them have at least a solid niche audience. Now that you know that, you should have serious reservations about any movie below C-.

Based on this description, this film is a C, a solid drama about a brutal rape and its aftermath.
