» 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.
Remake of the influential Jules Dassin film noir, with
Robert De Niro as the shyster-lawyer who "wants to be somebody."
SEX/NUDITY 4 - One sex scene in the entry way to an apartment building, no
nudity. The couple carries on a conversation about moving to California. A scantily clad
prostitute is in a lawyer's office after apparently having been arrested for solicitation,
she propositions him and grabs his private region.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Two fist fights which lead to a man being thrown out of a

the old man ends up having a heart attack. A woman is punched in the face by her husband.
Lots of violent threats.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is used several times as well as a wide range of
other profanity. Lots of name-calling. [profanity glossary]

away from being dishonest. He is desperately trying to do something honest because he is
tired of running.
