EDITOR'S NOTE

» In the next few weeks we will be trying out In-Text Advertising, a new type of advertising that we think is less intrusive than many other formats. Basically, keywords on our pages that correspond to an advertiser's product or service will be double-underlined in green. More details here.

Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: R

Bruce Willis is a brutal, cold-blooded gun-for-hire who's targeted a high-ranking government official for assassination.

SEX/NUDITY 1 - No sex or nudity. One homosexual implication: A brief scene in which two men kiss twice in a crowded bar.

VIOLENCE/GORE 9 - Two large explosions. Several violent, extremely bloody gunfights. Many people are shot and killed during shootouts, with lots of realistic, graphic violence. A few examples: A man is shot point-blank in the neck and dies. Another man is shot in the forehead, with blood and gore sprayed against the wall behind him. A man is riddled with machine gun fire and dies, a man is killed by an axe to the back of his head and another man gets his arm shot off and is then rifled with hundreds of bullets, while a car explodes behind him, engulfing him in flames. A man is shot twice in the chest and dies, with bloody bullet holes. A woman is shot twice in the abdomen and, after a scene in which she's in obvious agony, she eventually dies. A man is nearly run over by a speeding subway train. A man holds a frightened teenaged girl hostage, with a gun held to her head. There's also an extended sequence with stray gunfire spraying into a crowd of panicked bystanders.
