Al Pacino and Sean Penn star in this familiar gangster tale
about a bad guy who tries to make good but whose past keeps catching up to him. Also with
Penelope Ann Miller.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - More nudity than sex, thanks to a scene in a strip-bar, with
bare breasts and female derrieres shown several times. One implied sex scene in which we
see the woman nude, but we do not see the actual act.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Countless numbers of dead bodies, primarily from gun
shots. In one scene, a young man has his throat slit and in another, particularly chilling
scene, a man is beaten to death with a boat oar while he screams for mercy. There are two
major shoot outs, the last one includes graphic blood and gore.
PROFANITY 7 - The F-word is used numerous times as well as an abundance of
scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Drug abuse, gangster mentality, betrayal, theft, murder.
MESSAGE - You must make a clean break in order to start over. You cannot put
honor above reason. Your past always catches up to you.
