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.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is shot in the head, matter spurts and he falls to the ground dead. ► The U.S. President is shot and we hear that the bullet struck him in the chest and that he has trouble breathing. ► We see a dead man slumped over on the seat of a car, there is a bloody wound in his head, blood stains on the seat and a gun in his hand. A man is shot in the shoulder (we see blood on his shirt and suit coat). ► We see a bloody body on a stretcher. We see photos of an operating room where doctors operate on a man who has been shot (we see blood on a drape and surgical tools). ► Protestors charge a presidential motorcade and reach a car before being tackled and pushed to the ground. Police with sticks strike protestors who become increasingly agitated. Police push a crowd of protestors and spray them with mace. A man is shoved against a gate, searched and put in handcuffs by police. A man is grabbed and led away forcibly from a line of people waiting to greet the U.S. President. We see a man being arrested after having been forced to the ground. ► We see photos and video of a bombed out village in Iraq, with charred cars, etc. ► People chant and cheer when they hear that the U.S. President was shot. We hear that a man was killed by a roadside bomb during military action. We hear that the U.S. President died from gunshot wounds. We hear gunshots and screaming in the background of a scene. There are references to the attack of 9/11. We hear about the emotional condition of a woman whose husband was shot. ► A man in a crowd lights an American flag on fire. ► We see a poster of a man with a gun to his head. We see a rifle in a garbage dump.
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.
