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.
Mob mistress Sharon Stone protects a young boy carrying
valuable information from her thug friends. Co-starring Jean-Luke Figueroa, Jeremy
Northam, Cathy Moriarty, George C. Scott, Mike Starr, Bonnie Bedelia, Barry McEvoy, Don
Billett, Jerry Dean, Tony Dibenedetto, Teddy Atlas, Bobby Cannavale, Sarita Choudhury,
Miriam Colon and Desiree F. Casado.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Some sexual innuendo and a few kisses (one is passionate).
Five men are forced to undress and we see their bare posteriors. One woman often wears
cleavage and leg revealing clothes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A man shoots a woman (we see blood on her clothing);
another man holds her very bloody hand before he's shot. We see a dead man with a bloody
gunshot wound on his forehead. It's implied that two women are shot. A news clip about a
shooting shows several covered bodies being wheeled out of a building. A man slaps a
woman, a woman knees a man in the groin, and a man punches and repeatedly kicks another. A
man grabs onto a moving car and is slammed into a parked car (he presumably dies). During
a car chase, a car crashes into a wall (we see blood splatter on the windshield) and a car
crashes through a barrier (the passengers are fine, though). Threatening with guns and
several instances of people shooting at other people.

PROFANITY 10 - Nearly 50 F-words, many scatological references, several
anatomical references, lots of mild obscenities and many insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Organized crime, murder, loss of family, prison,
responsibility.
MESSAGE - A tough and independent woman still has the capacity to love.
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.
