In 1960 Germany, Army lawyer Major Steve Garrett is assigned to defend four American soldiers charged with raping 16 year-old Karin Steinhof. She was swimming in a nearby river when the four of them came across her and they were soon arrested thereafter. Maj. Garrett is anything but impressed with his clients but his job is to give them the best defense possible. He tries to obtain a plea bargain but Karin's father flatly refuses and the prosecutor, Colonel Jerome Pakenham, is seeking the death penalty. In order for the death penalty to be applied, the defense attorney must have the opportunity to thoroughly examine the victim under oath. He sympathizes with Karin and does his best to convince Karin father to keep her from testifying. When he refuses, Garrett is left will little choice but to attack her on the stand.

Mtime网友：这个题材，做成这样，真的很不容易了。尤其是，影片在影像上非常有特点，大量的特写镜头、跟拍、手持，以及碎片式剪辑，营造出强烈的恐慌与不安感。这种情绪，其实就是角色在片中的情绪，它以影像的方式，最直接延伸给观众。
丢豆网网友：一个好的导演，是会调教演员的，知道演员的优势在哪里。《暴雨狂云》像极了一道来自异域的夏日甜品，虽然不是主菜的配置，但却也有着勾人的独特风情。坦白说，最初的确是冲着戈特弗里德·赖因哈特 导演的名号看的，毕竟人家讲故事的功力摆在那里，但一开始就入了坑也是我怎么都没料到的。
豆瓣网网友：放在豆瓣语境下，是部时至今日终于拍出来的美国 “高分剧情片”。拿现实题材拍商业类型片，社会意义摆在那，群戏也处理得相当不错。对美国 而言，这样的电影多一部是一部，走一步是一步。
