Urban drama about two brothers and their relationship with
their father. There's also a romantic subplot.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - There are three sex scenes, complete with groaning and
thrashing about. A woman is shown topless and a man's naked derriere is exposed. There is
an implied sex scene, during which sex takes place under a woman's skirt. There are lots
of sexual innuendos, and references, mostly to oral sex. One disturbing scene in which it
appears that a drunken character may be masturbating.

mother. One scene in which a character gives himself a "jailhouse tattoo" --
carves the name of a woman on his forearm with a knife (bloody). Several fist fights in

One character is chained up, beaten and tortured, then slashed with a chain saw (lots of
blood).

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. |
