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. |

Samuel L. Jackson is fighting gangs as a teacher in an
inner-city school.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A girl's bare breasts are seen as she lies on a couch. Nude
male corpses with towels over their crotches. A gang bang is implied as many guys leave a
building where a girl is shown dressing. Sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man is shot in the chest with an arrow. A man is
attacked and stabbed in the back with a nail stuck in a piece of wood; the man's back is
bloody and later we see his very scarred back. A man is shot in the leg and is then shot
dead (shot many times). A man kicks and hits his mother. A rat is impaled with scissors
and is a bit bloody. A dog is found hanging dead over a wall. We see a bloody stump where
a finger was; the cut-off bloody finger is also shown. A partially decomposed corpse is
seen. A man pushes a woman, knocks her down and then hits her several times. A man is hit
in the face with a gun and his lips are bloodied. People play Russian roulette and two
people shoot themselves in the head with blood splattering. Threatening with guns,
scuffles.
PROFANITY 8 - About 70 F-words (including derivatives, the hand gesture and
the word written out), many scatological references, many anatomical references, many mild
obscenities, a few racial slurs (sometimes African-Americans use them referring to other
African-Americans). [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Teaching, inner-city schools, gangs, revenge.
MESSAGE - Teaching can be dangerous. Revenge is sweet.

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. |
