SEX/NUDITY 0 - A few brief kisses.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man is shot (we see blood on the side of his head) and we later see him lying in a hospital bed with a bloody bandage around his head; also, about five other people are shot and killed (we see some blood on two victims' shirts). We see a "spirit" coming out of a man's back; his hand is covered with blood after he feels the back of his head. A man grabs a girl and threatens her with a gun, but he lets her go without harming her. We see men with guns kicking in doors and shooting into rooms. Several instances of threatening with guns; a few people are shot at but not hit. A man is punched in the stomach and face while being interrogated (he has a bloody mouth and a little blood on his face); he spits blood in his captor's face. A man is punched and thrown over a table, a man knocks another unconscious and a man wrings another's hand. A car chase with reckless driving; a few cars run into each other. A man rolls over the hood of a car that nearly hit him. A man dreams he is being chased by a truck and sees skulls floating around him. We learn a man killed his father and that a boy's mother was killed in a car accident. We see video clips of people rioting (we see some punches, shoving and shots fired into the air).Two building explode; we see a corpse with a bloody head wound in the rubble and a woman with a little dirt and blood on her face. We briefly see a bird picking at an animal carcass. We see a small pool of blood next to two corpses. We see papers with some blood stains.

LANGUAGE 0 - None.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
