Arnold Schwarzenegger plays an ex-cop who must stop the Devil
himself (Gabriel Byrne) from impregnating a woman (Robin Tunney)
before the end of the Millennium. Also with Kevin Pollak, Renee
Olstead, Matt Gallini, Linda Pine, Vernon Campbell, Lloyd
Garroway, Kassandra Kay, Udo Kier, Denice D. Lewis, Frankie Ray,
Rod Steiger and Victor Varnado. [1:58]
SEX/NUDITY 5 - Some sexual innuendo (including a brief
reference to child molestation) and two kisses (one is
passionate). In what turns out to be a dream, we see a man moving
on top of woman in bed with another woman beside them, touching a
sheet that's covering her genitals (her bare breasts are visible).
We see the sides a woman's bare breasts as she changes her
clothes; a woman wears a cleavage- and leg-revealing dress.
VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - Several shoot-outs and lots of
threatening with guns (in one scene, a man holds a gun to his own
head). Several people are shot (we often see some blood spray from
the wounds; in one scene, a man's bloody wounds heal instantly);
also, a man is shot repeatedly with a machine gun but lives,
though we see a blackish-gray dent in his head where part of his
skull has been blown off. We see a blood-soaked bed, then see a
very bloody man strapped above it on the ceiling with what look
like forks piercing his hands and feet. A man jumps onto a sword
and impales himself and a man is stabbed (we see a knife sticking
out of his forehead). In a flashback, we see men carrying a little
girl and a woman into a bedroom, hear shots fired, then see blood
sprayed on the walls and carpet. A subway train explodes and
another runs into it; we see the only passenger cut in half on the
track (both pieces are mangled, charred and bloody). We see a boy
hit head-on by a bus and a man hit by a subway train; also, a
subway trains runs over two people lying on a track (they're not
injured). A man screams and runs after he's engulfed in flames (we
see a close-up of his charred, burning face). We see a hand push a
bloody organ out of man's chest, then pull it out of his back. We
see a woman afflicted by stigmata (she's tied to a bed and her
hands and feet are bleeding). A man's body shatters like glass. A
man is thrown out of a window but holds onto the frame; another
man pushes his hands into the broken glass on the frame (we see
blood dripping from his hands and see the very deep, bloody cuts
in a later scene). A man pushes a woman's head through a glass
table, a man grabs another by the throat, a woman hits several men
in the head with a shoe, a man is thrown down a staircase, a woman
kicks a man in the crotch and a woman rolls a piano into a man.
More scuffles, punches, choking and throwing; a man snaps
another's neck. A man is surrounded by a group of people and
beaten with a baseball bat, punched, kicked and thrown into a car
window, then he's tied to a cross and raised onto the side of a
building (he survives). Some chase scenes and two fall scenes: one
man falls through a glass roof then gets up and runs (he's limping
and his face is extremely bloody) and another is pulled out of a
window and falls onto a car below. A man grabs onto and then falls
off a moving car. A hand breaks through a floor and a ceiling,
trying to grab a woman (it's shot at repeatedly). A man throws a
woman onto an altar and we hear him ripping her clothes (nothing
else happens). In two different scenes, a transparent liquid shape
and a monster flow into a man's body, knocking him to the floor
and throwing him against a wall several times. A few earthquakes
(one nearly destroys a church) and several large, fiery explosions
that cause lots of property damage and presumably kill many
people. A huge monster breaks through a floor and growls at a man.
A corpse has words carved into its torso, a corpse sits up and is
then shot and a corpse is seen floating in a bathtub of bloody
water. We see a tongue in a jar, then see bloody pliers next to
it. We see a newborn baby covered with pieces of bloody goo. A
snake is slit, squirting lots of blood, and some of that blood is
fed to a baby (we see blood on its lips). We see a close-up of a
man's facial cut being stitched; we also see a man whose eyes have
been stitched shut. In a few scenes we see people with extremely
bloody faces; in one scene we see a pool of blood on the floor. A
woman imagines lots of tiny bodies squirming on an apple. A man
urinates on some steps and we see it trickle along the sidewalk.
Twice, a woman is restrained and nearly stabbed with a knife.
PROFANITY 7 - About 18 F-words, some anatomical
references, several scatological references, lots of mild
obscenities and a couple of insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Satan, good vs. evil, religion, faith,
stigmata, childbirth, sacrifice, loss of loved ones, alcoholism,
suicidal tendencies.
MESSAGE - Faith is the best weapon against Satan;
self-sacrifice is sometimes necessary to save others from their
deadly fate.
