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.
Bob Hoskins plays a psychopathic catering manager who
befriends a pregnant, homeless teen (Elaine Cassidy) in this thriller. Also with Claire
Benedict, Brid Brennan, Sidney Cole, Kriss Dosanjh, Nizwar Karanj, Arsinée Khanjian,
Peter McDonald, Gerard McSorley, Sheila Reed, Danny Turner and Ali Yassine. [1:56]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A little sexual innuendo and a couple of kisses. We see a
clothed boy on top of a clothed girl (only his shoulders and her face are visible) and
it's implied they're having intercourse (we see a little movement and hear some
heavy breathing).
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A person puts their head through a noose and jumps off a
counter. During a stage play, we see a severed head on a tray (a woman appears to be
kissing it). A few times we see a man grabbing a woman's arm to prevent her from
getting out of a car. A man chokes on some food and falls out of his chair; also we hear a
boy vomiting and see a man about to vomit. We see a girl with a bloody stain on her
nightgown.

PROFANITY 2 - A couple of mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]
MESSAGE - Malevolence can be disguised as benevolence; sometimes it takes a
traumatic experience to make us understand ourselves and our purpose in life.
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.
