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. |

Film noir/murder mystery with Ed Harris and Madeleine
Stowe.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - One sex scene in which we don't see the actual act, but do
see the woman completely naked. Another sex scene in which we see a woman's breasts. Sex
is also implied a few times, but nothing is shown. One gruesome scene in which we see a
dead woman's naked body.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - There are two dead bodies, one in a very badly decomposed
state, the other leaves a long trail of blood. Two shooting scenes resulting in death.
There is a lot of talk about weapons and killing. There are a few scenes in a morgue where
we see dead bodies very briefly, and a couple of scenes of domestic violence -- husband
slapping and punching and shoving his wife.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is use several times along with scatological
references and milder profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Extra-marital sex and relationships, betrayal, murder,
conspiracy, greed, brutality.
MESSAGE - There's no way around the truth.

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. |
