ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

ex-cop Jeff Bridges must come out of retirement to stop him.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - No sex or nudity.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - There are a lot of explosions and images of charred

Two more men are blown up in a truck. The charred body of one man is shown lying on the
ground. A dog is found dead. A man is used as a human time bomb, and he blows up -- off
screen. Two men fight it out with lots of pushing, shoving and pounding.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word and about five scatological terms. [profanity glossary]

MESSAGE - You can't forget your past and you can't keep secrets from the

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. |
