In this thrilling movie starring Cordell Moore, Tempestt Bledsoe, Essence Atkins and Denise Boutte, Moore plays the controlling and manipulative David Washington who wants to control every aspect of his life, including his naïve new girlfriend (Boutte) to dangerous results.
- Enough
Before she was a judge on “American Idol,” Jennifer Lopez played the battered and abused Slim Hiller in the 2002 film Enough. After fleeing her psychotic husband Mitch (Bill Campbell), Slim must learn how to protect herself and her young daughter Gracie. As he continues to pursue them, it’s clear that the only way out might be murder. The fighting technique learned by Slim is Krav Maga ("contact combat") the Israeli self defense technique.
- Sleeping with the Enemy
Fresh off the success of the romantic comedy hit Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts took on a different kind of role in 1991 – one of the abused Laura Burney. Laura plans the perfect escape from her scary and manipulative husband Martin (Patrick Bergin) and learns how to swim to fake her own death. She travels to a small town and finds true love with Ben Woodward (Kevin Anderson), but Martin is not far behind. Sleeping with the Enemy features haunting music from Hector Berlioz' "Symphonie Fantastique.”
- For Colored Girls
Based on Ntozake Shange’s play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” this Tyler Perry piece gives insight into 20 different women of color’s everyday life. Starring Janet Jackson, Kerry Washington, Thandie Newton, Whoopi Goldberg and Phylicia Rashad, For Colored Girls dives into nearly every kind of dysfunctional relationship.
- What’s Love Got to Do With It?
Based on the true story of famed music couple Tina Turner and her abusive husband Ike Turner, Sr., What’s Love Got to Do With It portrays a realistic look at a high-profile, yet unsettling relationship. Angela Bassett is Tina and Laurence Fishburne is Ike in the Oscar-nominated docu-drama. Ironically, Angela Bassett was injured while filming the first spousal abuse sequence, as she fell off the back of a high-rise sofa, put her hands out to reduce the impact and suffered a hairline fracture of her right hand.
- N-Secure
In one of the latest films to display an abusive relationship, N-Secure explores David Washington’s controlling tendencies with his girlfriend Tina Simpson. He gives her a kind of “10 Commandments” and is obsessed with timing. To one of his girlfriends, he scolds: “You said you'd be home at 8 o'clock. It's now 8:03. You know it takes 27 minutes to get home from Onyx. You should have left at 7:33, not 7:36. My father always said, when people disrespect your time, they disrespect you." Soon, these insecurities lead to a web of betrayal and murder.
