Michael Douglas stars as a laid-off defense worker who
flips his lid over everyday frustrations. He becomes an urban vigilante and goes on a
rampage, while Robert Duvall is the policeman who's trying to track him down.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A woman delivers a strip-o-gram, but she never gets a chance
to strip.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - The most violent scenes revolve around a drive-by
shooting: a number of pedestrians are shot (no blood is shown) and the gangsters end up
crashing into another car. They are shown unconscious and bloody. Douglas shoots one of
them in the leg, for good measure. Next, Douglas stabs a man in the shoulder and proceeds
to shoot him 3 times. There are a couple of brief fights involving a baseball-bat and lots
of property damage: Douglas demolishes a convenience store, shoots the ceiling of a
fast-food restaurant, a telephone booth, and a golf cart, and blows up a construction
site. A man has a heart attack and two more people are shot.
PROFANITY 8 - Lots and lots of F-words, scatological language and other
profanities. Also, various racial slurs against women, homosexuals, Jews and
African-Americans. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - There's a discussion of a child dying. Divorce, domestic
violence and insanity.
MESSAGE - Modern life is frustrating and pretty much hopeless.
