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. |

Keanu Reeves stars as a futuristic information courier with
too much data in his brain.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A bare-chested man in boxer shorts is shown lying in bed as a
scantily clad woman leaves his hotel room. We briefly glimpse the sides of a woman's
breasts. One kiss, and a couple of sexual references.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A number of people are slashed and/or bloody loose body
parts are shown: a man's fingers are sliced off and we see them clearly; a man is sliced
in two and as the sections of his body slide away we see what is supposed to be a
cross-section of flesh, muscles and bones; a man is sliced across the throat; a man has
his hands skewered to metal with a scalpel; a woman's hand is also skewered. And a woman
has an arrow pierce her open mouth (bloody and very gory.) There are also a couple of
decapitations (without blood but still gory). A man is electrocuted and we see open sores
erupt on his body as he "melts" and fries. A man is run over by a truck. A
couple of people fall to their deaths. Scenes of people dying in a hospital. A shoot-out,
with some people dying from bloody wounds. A few explosions.
PROFANITY 6 - About 25 F-words, about 20 scatological terms, and many milder
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The future of technology, government conspiracies, the power
of computers.
MESSAGE - Your life is more important than your career; it is OK to
sacrifice one life if it will save millions.

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. |
