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. |

Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan star in this tale of murder and
family secrets. James Caan co-stars.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - There's one sex scene, and we see the participants writhing,
kissing a lot and groping each other. Only their naked backs are clearly visible. There's
a brief scene of a topless woman, and another of a naked woman lying on her stomach;
nothing is really visible.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Two men and a woman are shot to death, on screen. A little
boy is also shot, but off-screen: we just hear the shot. A man has buckshot removed from
his back with tweezers, and we see the procedure in graphic detail. A woman is punched in
the face. We see a dead man in a coffin.
PROFANITY 5 - About 10 F-words, and many scatological terms. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The sins of the parents and how they affect their children.
MESSAGE - You can't hide from the past.

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. |
