ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale are wrongfully arrested
and jailed for allegedly smuggling drugs while vacationing in Bangkok. Also with Bill
Pullman, Daniel Lapaine, Jacqui Kim, Lou Diamond Phillips, Amanda De Cadenet and Paul
Walker. [1:40 )
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A little sexual innuendo and a few kisses (one is passionate).
It's implied that a girl spends the night with a man and that they have had
intercourse (we don't see anything happen). We see a couple of bare backsides of
people showering, girls in midriff-revealing shirts, girls in bathing suits and a woman
wearing a short nightshirt.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A girl is hit and falls to the ground, a girl's palms
are hit several times with a stick and a girl bumps into another. We briefly see men
kickboxing in a professional match. Police hold girls at gunpoint. A girl falls down; we
later learn a cockroach crawled in her ear and caused an infection. We see cockroaches in
some rooms and briefly see some fish heads fall out of a mat being unrolled. We see a girl
squat and then hear her urinate.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, an anatomical reference, many scatological
references, several mild obscenities, a couple of insults and an obscene finger gesture. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Thailand's legal system, drug smuggling, drug use,
wrongful imprisonment, teen drinking, bribery, friendship.
MESSAGE - The Thailand legal system is too harsh and seems to assume
defendants are guilty until proven innocent; self-sacrifice is the ultimate show of
friendship.

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. |
