The police chief of Banyon Key,
Florida, (Denzel Washington) finds himself in a bad situation that's
quickly getting worse when he tries to help his lover (Sanaa
Lathan), only to find out that she's never cared for him and is
ready to betray him. Hounded by the DEA when they're looking for
evidence money that he "borrowed," as well as his estranged wife,
he's quickly running out of options. Also with Eva Mendes, Dean Cain
and John Billingsley. Directed by Carl Franklin. [1:45]
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A man and a woman kiss, she wraps her
legs around his waist, he pushes her against a wall, and we see
thrusting and hear moaning. A man puts his hand around a woman's
neck, pushes her back onto a bed, they kiss, he rips her top off (we
see her in a bra), they kiss, she climbs on top of him, she kisses
down his chest to (presumably) perform oral sex. A man and a woman
kiss and the woman leads the man inside by the hand. A man and a
woman embrace and kiss and a man and a woman kiss in several scenes.
A man touches a woman's hand tenderly. A man and a woman lie in bed
together clothed and talking. A man admires a woman's cleavage, a
woman sits on a desk and her skirt is slit up to the thigh, and a
man is bare-chested. Two men have a heated conversation about
someone having an affair with one of their wives. A man makes a
reference to another man being the "love child" of two men. Women
wear tight, low-cut and short tops that reveal cleavage and bare
abdomens. We see many women in bikinis near a beach.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A man tackles another man, they
struggle over a gun, they fight with punches and kicks, they crash
through a window and fall over a balcony grabbing on before falling
down; the balcony begins to break away from the building, the two
men continue to kick and punch each other, and one falls to the
ground below (we hear a thud and see him lying motionless). Two men
fight after shooting at each other, one is dragged through a window,
they wrestle on the floor, one is slammed into a pole a few times
(we see blood on his face), one is shot at and grazed on the face
(we see blood on his cheek), one is shot in the leg and one is shot
in the stomach and falls motionless on the floor. A character is
shot in the side and falls to the ground dead. A woman hits her head
on a ledge and we see a bloody gash on her cheek. A house bursts
into flames and we see two charred bodies in the smoldering rubble.
A man shoves a woman against a door, glass breaks and we hear her
scream. A police officer, with a gun drawn, kicks a door down. A man
is chased by police, he knocks a woman down and spills a hotel cart,
and he is nearly caught a few times (it's a tense scene). A man
threatens to kill a man. Two men yell at each other on the telephone
and one threatens the other. A woman yells in frustration and throws
a clock against a wall (it breaks). We hear that a man physically
abuses his wife. We hear that bodies have been stolen from a morgue.
