Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington star in this John
Grisham legal thriller about an assassination plot against Supreme Court Justices.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sam Shepard and Julia Roberts share a few passionate kisses
while Shepard briefly touches Roberts under her shirt. A Justice is killed in a porno
theater and while nothing is shown, we hear the moans from the screen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A Justice is shot in the head, and the wound and
splattered blood are shown. Another Justice is strangled: while not shown, we hear the
snap of his neck. Two cars blow up with men inside. A couple of men are shot and some
blood is shown. And a man is shown in a big pool of spreading blood, after being shot.
PROFANITY 1 - A few quite mild profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Assassination, legal maneuvering, saving the environment.
MESSAGE - Some people will do anything to win. The Supreme Court is more
political than we may think.

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. |
