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.
Sandra Bullock is a computer analyst who discovers a secret
in a computer program which could get her killed.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A few kisses and hugs, a man and woman lie next to each other
with bare shoulders. A discussion of having sex on the first date. A woman is shown in a
bikini, and in a towel after a shower.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A man puts a gun to his mouth and we hear a shot. A woman
has a gun held to her head. A man cuts his hand and a man is shot. A man is burned with a
cigarette, is punched and hit over the head with a bottle. A plane crashes amidst flames,
a car crashes when the driver begins choking. A car wreck kills the driver and we see
blood on his face. A woman is threatened and chased repeatedly. A woman is shot and dies
in a puddle of blood. A man falls to his death after being hit with a fire extinguisher.

PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, several scatological references, and a few milder
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The internet and computers, losing your identity, controlling
the world.
MESSAGE - Computers control our lives; information is power.
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.
