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. |

Denzel Washington stars as a man convicted of murdering his
wife. It's years later and he must persuade his son (Ray Allen), who's now a talented
basketball player, to join the Governor's alma mater in order to get early parole.
SEX/NUDITY 7 - Discussions of sex and sexual innuendo (including sex in
prison). A woman wears cleavage revealing clothing. Numerous bare breasts are seen briefly
and a woman's bare breasts are seen during a sex scene. Flashing images of people involved
in sexual activity and one couple has sex with the woman sitting on the man's lap. A sex
scene with lots of maneuvering and noises. A man has sex with two women; we see their bare
breasts and most of their buttocks (they are wearing G-strings); there's a lot of moaning.
Oral sex is implied.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A woman is hit and punched by a man, and a man shoots two
people. A man shoves his son around and then throws his wife across a room; she hits her
head and dies from the injuries. A prisoner is nearly shot by a guard. A man vomits.
PROFANITY 8 - About 70 F-words, approximately 40 scatological references,
many anatomical terms, many mild obscenities, insults and racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - College sports and recruiting practices, pushing your
children, irresponsible parenting, family violence, blackmail, prison.
MESSAGE - Family is the most important thing a man can have.

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. |
