A sister and brother are adopted by a neighbor when their
parents die in a car accident. However, their new guardians are actually after the
children's $4 million trust. With Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane, Stellan Skarsgard, Trevor
Morgan and Bruce Dern. [1:46]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - There are a few scenes of a man making what seem to be
inappropriate sexual advances toward a young woman: A man reaches toward a young woman to
buckle her seat belt, a man touches a young woman's shoulder, a young woman wears a bikini
(it reveals cleavage) and a man admires her figure, a young woman undresses to her bra and
shorts and she senses someone is watching her, and a man watches a young woman as she does
her homework. A man and woman kiss (shown on a video). A woman wears a very tight and very
low-cut top which exposes a lot of cleavage. Young women (16-year-olds) are shown
throughout the movie in tight, figure- and cleavage-revealing outfits. We see a bare
chested man.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A young woman in a blood stained dress screams and runs
down a hall trying to get away from a man wearing a mask and carrying a machete-like
weapon. The masked man swings the machete and nearly hits her, she backs into a blood
soaked corpse and screams and the masked man punches through a window behind her and grabs
her (these are scenes from a movie that a group of young women are watching). High school
students watch a driver's education film which shows gruesome scenes of bloody corpses
after traffic accidents. A man shoves another man into a man holding a knife; he is
stabbed in the abdomen and falls to the ground. A young woman drives a car toward a man
standing in a road, hits him, sends him flying up into the windshield and he rolls back
onto the road. A young woman wakes up to find a dead woman in her bed; the woman is tinged
blue with her eyes open and milky. A dead man is shown twisted and bloody at the scene of
a car accident, and a bloody sheet is pulled over a corpse. A young woman runs away from a
man who grabs her, hits her in the face, drags her by the feet across a floor, pins her
down, and a woman gives her an injection which knocks her out. A car without brakes speeds
down a winding road ramming into the back of another car, pushing it into an oncoming
truck (the car explodes into dust) and the first car flies through a cement barricade and
over an embankment. A man grabs a boy and a young woman by the hair and tosses them down a
basement staircase. A man is dragged out of his house, taped around the wrists and mouth
and shoved into a car. There are several flashes of a car accident with the occupants of
the car screaming and the car flying off a cliff (a young woman imagines what must have
happened). A very bloody and scratched up man limps toward a car. A man is slammed against
a window and we see his face pressed against the glass from the outside (he's being
threatened by two men), a man punches a police officer in the face, a young woman hits a
man in the head with a dish, a young woman kicks a man in the crotch, a woman bangs her
head against a wall in frustration, and a young woman spits in a man's face. A man breaks
a telephone and a glass sending shrapnel across the room. A man drives recklessly swerving
on a wet road and almost runs head on into oncoming traffic, and a young woman drives
recklessly swerving on a wet road and running a red light almost getting hit by a truck. A
woman injects herself (off-screen) with a drug and we see her stumbling toward some
stairs. A couple of tense scenes show a young woman sneaking into a man and woman's
bedroom and while trying to take their car keys drops them and wakes the man, a boy takes
some keys from under a sleeping man's hand, a young woman and a boy hide under a bed. A
man and woman argue bitterly. Two police officers tell a young woman that her parents have
been killed in a car accident, whereupon she collapses.

to relieve menstrual cramps and we see her in a state of euphoria. A group of young women
