The Offence

When is the accuser the accused? Sean Connery delivers an intense and devastatingly desperate performance as Detective-Sergeant Johnson, whose 20 years of handling murder, rape and other violent cases culminate in a deadly loss of control during a routine interrogation of a suspected child molester. This harrowing and compellingly constructed chamber drama of police brutality and mental anguish also features stellar performances by Trevor Howard, Vivien Merchant and Ian Bannen.
