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. |

Framed for the murder of her husband, a woman (Ashley Judd)
survives prison with two burning desires sustaining her: finding her son and solving the
mystery that destroyed her once-happy life. Standing between her and her quest is her
parole officer (Tommy Lee Jones). Also with Bruce Greenwood, Annabeth Gish, Roma Maffia
and Davenia McFadden.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A couple has sex with the woman on top; we see thrusting, her
bare buttocks and breasts. Some kissing and sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man is shot twice in the chest with blood seen on his
chest and blood smeared on glass behind him. A man shoots many times at a couple hitting
the man in the shoulder and we see some blood. A woman threatens a man with a gun and then
shoots at him. There is blood on a woman's hands, clothes, a door and the deck of a boat.
There is a lot of blood on a table and a bloody knife (seen twice). A woman hits a man in
the head with a gun leaving a bloody wound and a man slams a woman's head into a concrete
pillar. A couple fights over a gun rolling around on the floor, hitting and kicking. A man
punches another man in his bullet wound a few times. A woman wakes up in a coffin with a
corpse and she shoots the lid off the coffin. Many scenes of reckless driving including a
car being hit and destroyed, a phone booth (with someone inside) being hit and destroyed,
a car crashing and flipping with people inside (they are not injured), a car being bumped
into water (with no one inside), a car going underwater with a couple inside and a car
bumping other cars back and forth. A couple grapples in water. There are a few chases,
falls and jumps and a man nearly slips from a roof. People shatter glass in a couple of
scenes, and a man shatters a car windshield with his arm. A man rips a phone out of a
wall.
PROFANITY 6 - About 12 F-words, many scatological references and mild
obscenities, some anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, being framed, prison, revenge, motherhood, betrayal,
the legal system.
MESSAGE - You can't be tried twice for the same crime.

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. |
