Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: R

Who's-doing-it thriller about a serial killer/rapist, with Alec Baldwin and Nicole Kidman.

SEX/NUDITY 6 - There are three sex scenes with varying degrees of intensity. All the sex scenes include nudity -- primarily female: there are nude posteriors several times as well as breasts. A man is shown nude -- but his private parts are not exposed. The most intense scene leaves nothing to the imagination, including the sound effects and the number of sweat beads collecting on skin. Oral sex is also implied. One scene shows a young boy watching a couple from a neighboring window. There is also a discussion of a rape.

VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Several women are murdered and an attempt is made on a young boy. One woman is strangled. There is a gruesome lingering view of another woman who is found battered and bloody. We also see several very bloody and graphic surgery scenes. One man is shot at point blank range. And there are a couple of fight scenes with punching, shoving over balconies, and smashing inanimate objects over heads.
