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. |

Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter track down a serial
killer.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Some sexual references. Photos of murder victims show breasts
and buttocks. A murder victim has one breast slightly displayed.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man slashes a police officer's throat and we see his
body later with a bloody wound. We see bloody crime scene photos a few times. A woman is
found in a bathtub with striations on her face. A woman shot in a car is shown with a
gaping wound on her neck. A woman's corpse is shown with bloody ankles, and another
woman's bloody, dead body is found. We see a man's headless body. A man is shot to death.
Two police officers are shown in puddles of blood. A woman is beaten and later has a
bruised, bloody face. A woman is strung up by a wire, dangling and choking. A woman is
tied to a table with a bag over her head. One explosion.
PROFANITY 6 - 14 F-words, many scatological references, some mild
obscenities, a couple of anatomical references. [profanity glossary]

MESSAGE - You can't live your life running away from your fears. Living
closed off from society won't protect you.

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. |
