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.
Dana Carvey plays a PI who, once he wakes up, can't recall
anything from the past.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - There are several sexual situations, none of which ends up in
the actual act. There are references to having had sex while using handcuffs. A couple of
kissing scenes with some groping, but no nudity. A woman is seen in an almost see-through
white t-shirt.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A woman is killed by a car explosion. There is a gun fight
but no one is injured. A man throws rocks and hits several people on the head. No gore is
shown.

PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, and an assortment of scatological references and
milder profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - FBI corruption, bribery and cover-ups. Infidelity.
MESSAGE - Be thankful that you can wake up remembering who you are.
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.
