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.
Daniel Baldwin is the only CIA agent skilled enough to
retrieve a deadly radioactive bomb that his equally-crafty former partner stole from the
government. Erika Eleniak, Richard Tyson, Tony Todd, Jeff Yagher, Bo Jackson and Robert
Hegyes co-star.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo (including a reference to homosexuality).
Several passionate kisses (in one scene, a man kisses a woman's clothed stomach and she
moans pleasurably). A woman in her bra and underwear kisses a man's neck and cheek.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Lots of threatening with guns and knives, lots of
shoot-outs; lots of people are shot and stabbed (we see several bloody corpses and several
bloody wounds). One man is strangled and we see and hear a man's neck being snapped by
another man. Two buildings and a plane explode. A radioactive bomb goes off in a populated
town and we see many corpses lying on the ground (there's no blood, but we do hear flies
buzzing around the corpses). The bomb is used three other times, killing several people
and two dogs. A man grabs onto a moving truck; he bashes the driver's head into the
steering wheel and eventually falls off the truck (but he's not injured). There are
several fights involving kicks and punches; during one extended fight scene, a man is
thrown over a railing and knocked unconscious. A few scuffles. A man slaps a woman.

PROFANITY 6 - About 5 F-words and one F-word derivative, many anatomical
references, several scatological references and lots of mild obscenities and insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The CIA, the military, undercover operations, crime
organizations, betrayal, bombs.
MESSAGE - It doesn't pay to double-cross the CIA .
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.
