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. |

Convicts hijack an airplane and Nicolas Cage must try to
save the day.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Kissing, sexual innuendo (including homosexual references).
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - Lots of explosions, lots of fights with punches, kicks and
sometimes with blood. A man's nose is rammed into his brain and there is blood on his face
as he dies. Two men pull needles out of their hands. A man pulls out a fishing wire
embedded in his mouth. A man sets another on fire with lighter fluid. Two attempted rapes:
once the rapist begins fondling a woman through her clothes and talks about raping her,
and another time he knocks her unconscious and begins taking down her pants. A corpse is
trapped in the landing gear (no blood); the corpse falls many feet to shatter a car and we
see his face through the windshield. A plane crashes through buildings resulting in deaths
and bloodshed. A man is thrown through glass and then decapitated with a pile driver. A
man has his arm broken and is impaled during a fight (some blood). A man has his neck
broken with some blood on his face. We see brain matter when a man is shot in the head.
Lots of gunshots with lots of spurting blood and squishy sounds. A corpse with blood on
the chest. An arm is left hanging in cuffs when a corpse is taken down. A man is stabbed
in the ankle with a hook.
PROFANITY 8 - About 25 F-words, many scatological references, a few mild
obscenities, some anatomical references, a couple of racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The military, prison, law enforcement, hijacking.
MESSAGE - All convicts aren't bad guys.

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. |
