ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Kevin Bacon stars as a basketball talent scout who finds a
potential superstar in a remote Kenya village.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A male ball player touches a female ball player on the court,
on the rear and on the chest.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Some on-court rough-housing. Bacon undergoes a ritual
which leads him to almost fall off a sheer cliff; he gets scraped up a bit in the process.
Part of the ritual involves being cut in the abdomen with a rather unsanitary-looking
knife. This is shown just off-camera, but another character undergoes the same ritual and
this cutting is shown on-screen, very briefly.
PROFANITY 3 - Several scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - A few insights into the workings of college basketball;
friction between the "modern" and "traditional" lifestyles in Kenya.
MESSAGE - Goals can be attained through determination.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
