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. |

Gene Hackman is on death row and Chris O'Donnell is his
attorney grandson trying to save him.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - An explosion we see a couple of times kills two boys. A
photo of a lynching (two hanged men), a corpse of a suicide victim with blood around the
head which we see a couple of times. Scuffles (one results in a bloody temple and nose)
and threatening with guns. A man is shot in the torso and flies backwards from the blast.
Brutal boxing with bloody faces and an execution with twitching and foaming at the mouth.
PROFANITY 4 - Many mild obscenities, a few scatological references, a few
anatomical references, a few racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Familial relationships, racism, the legal system, the death
penalty and executions.
MESSAGE - Justice must be served.

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. |
