Rachel's Movie Appearance














As mentioned in ‘The Early Years’ post, Rachel’s only movie appearance came in 1999 when she played a nurse in the Irish thriller ‘Accelerator’. The film itself is very watchable as some of the critics comments suggest:


“Slick and Energetic…Packed with stunts”
Sunday Times

“Riveting and Darkly Funny”
Sunday Tribune

“Awesome”
The Star

“A Rollercoaster Thriller”
The Irish Times


It’s maybe just as well because if you are buying this film purely to see Rachel you may be disappointed as her on screen time is all too brief; no more than 2 minutes and a couple of lines of dialogue. However it is the only chance you’ll get to see an 18 year old, blond Rachel, dressed as a nurse and as the movie itself is pretty good, I’d say it’s worth purchasing if you like this type of film.


PLOT
