Jennifer Lopez stars as a policewoman who's struggling with
the stresses of her profession and her memories of an abusive childhood. She becomes
romantically involved with a man (James Caviezel) who refuses to discuss his past. As she
begins a relationship with him, she is compelled to dig into his secrets and in the
process she finds out as much about herself and love as she does about his past. Also with
Terrence Howard, Jeremy Sisto and Sonia Braga. [1:43]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A few kisses and there is some sexual innuendo: there are
several crude references to sexual intercourse including an arrestee taunting and
propositioning a female police officer in a couple of scenes and expressing his pleasure
while she frisks him. A man strips to his briefs and a woman strips to her bra and
panties; they both jump into a lake and swim, and kiss as they swim. A woman asks a man to
kiss her where she hasn't been kissed and he dives under water and comes up kissing her
foot. A couple kisses passionately and starts making love while on a beach: the
participants are sweating and a couple of times we see the man thrust; they are obviously
nude but only bare shoulders and their torsos from the side are seen. As a woman dresses
for work, she strips down to her bra and looks at herself in a mirror.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - We see a car accident scene several times in flashbacks,
with varying degrees of detail: we see a close-up of a shattered windshield with a spot of
blood on it; we see ambulances and stretchers, and we see a bagged body. Another body is
seen on a stretcher with a person in a neck brace. There is shoving, yelling and wrecked
cars. We see the accident from a different view as a truck grille approaches a car and a
child and woman scream and fling their arms up. We then see the aftermath with a man lying
in a wrecked car with blood on his face and a woman and young boy lying dead behind him.
There is a street gang fight with two men kicking, punching and shoving each other; they
fall to the ground and continue the fight as a crowd watches and yells. Police officers
break up a fight and one slams a gang member's face down on the hood of a car which causes
a thin stripe of blood to appear on his temple. A police officer handles a man roughly by
shoving him into a chair, and another officer shoves her knee into his side which causes
his head to slam into the wall behind him. Then she slams her knee into his face. In a
drive-by shooting a car drives recklessly and the occupants shoot up a glass-fronted
restaurant where a group of police officers are having breakfast; several officers are hit
and we see spots and splatters of blood, people falling to the floor and lots of commotion
and yelling. There is a foot chase with people shooting at each other while running. A
woman falls down and a man fires into her chest at point blank range. Then another man
grabs his hand and wrestles him to the ground. The woman looks at her chest which has a
nasty purple bruise on it. A man walks in the middle of a busy street and is nearly hit by
a truck (we see the headlights and grille, and hear the horn blaring). A couple fights and
afterward the woman has a bruised eye. A woman punches a man in the mouth and we see his
teeth covered with blood. A man sobs hysterically at a gravesite. A couple of times people
shove each other, we hear a man and woman yelling behind closed doors, and a couple of
other times people fight and yell at each other abusively. People describe violent scenes:
a description of being shot, a car accident, domestic violence, and child abuse.
