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. |

Christopher Lambert plays an ex-army officer who ends up in
a maximum security prison because his wife is pregnant (she ends up there, too). In this
reality, overpopulation has forced the U.S. to ban second births.
SEX/NUDITY 7 - A couple of dream sequences depicting sexual encounters, with
a lot of kissing and moaning. There is also an attempted rape scene -- between men -- in
the prison. There are a few quick glimpses of male genitalia and bare buttocks. Also
several shots of bare breasted women; most are shown in photographs and distorted on a TV
screen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Most of the violence comes from fight scenes where inmates
punch, kick, and shove each other. There are a few scenes where weapons are used. A number
of people have their stomachs shot out; in one scene a victim puts his hand in the gaping,
bloody hole which used to be his stomach. A man is stabbed repeatedly in the back with a
shard of glass. Guard dogs attack a man and tear at his arms and legs. In a rather gross
scene, a man removes an explosive device implanted in his stomach by dragging it upwards,
and out of his mouth. We see it bulging through the skin as it is pulled by a magnet on
its way up.
PROFANITY 6 - Approximately 35 F-words as well as a generous assortment of
other scatological terms and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Voyeurism, population control, abortion, omnipotent
corporations.
MESSAGE - The will to survive can help overcome insurmountable obstacles.

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. |
