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.
Remake of the eponymous 1972 film, with Alec Baldwin and
Kim Basinger as a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - Baldwin and Basinger have sex three times and there are
several shower scenes also. One particular scene has them in low light, fully nude as she
grabs his private parts. Jennifer Tilly is also seen nude, on top of Michael Madsen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - The body count is quite high, and there are many violent
and gory scenes. Men are shot throughout the film, usually at close range and with 5-6
bullets pumped into them. There are two hostage situations, which include women forced on
the ground at gun point. A dead man is shoved out of a moving car and a man is pushed over
a cliff.

PROFANITY 6 - The F-word is used about a dozen times, as well as a
smattering of scatological and anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
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.
