Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: PG-13

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.
