Best friends and boxers Antonio Banderas and Woody
Harrelson take a road trip to Las Vegas to fight each other in a match they hope will
revive their careers. Also with Lolita Davidovich, Tom Sizemore, Lucy Alexis Liu, Robert
Wagner, Richard Masur, Willie Garson, Cylk Cozart, Jack Carter and Darrell Foster. [2:04]
SEX/NUDITY 8 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to
homosexuality, fellatio, female genitalia and the size of male genitalia) and a few
kisses. A clothed woman straddles a standing man and they have intercourse with moaning
and movement (her upper thigh is visible; he isn't wearing pants but his shirt covers
his buttocks) and we later see him thrusting behind her; also, she spanks his buttocks a
few times and it's implied that he touches her genitalia (we glimpse his hand
underneath her skirt, see her delighted facial expression and hear her moans). A man
caresses a woman's clothed leg, but she removes his hand when he moves it to her
upper thigh. We see two topless women lying in bed with a man and two nude but
sheet-covered women lying together in bed (most of one's bare legs are visible). In
dream sequences, we see some topless women (a few times we see close-ups of their bare
breasts), a man's bare backside, two nude women rolling on a mat together (shadows
hide their genital area and most of their bodies, but we do see their bare breasts and
one's bare buttocks) and a woman straddling a man's lap. We see two men's
bare buttocks as they shower in a locker room. We see several women in skimpy bathing
suits (one wears a thong bottom) and women in cleavage-revealing tops.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - An extended scene of a boxing match with lots of punches
(several punches to the nose, cheek and forehead are shown in close-up, slow motion shots)
and many knock-downs; both boxers get blood on their trunks, one man has a very bloody
gash on his eyebrow (we see lots of blood on his face and chest) and the other has a
bloody mouth and nose and his face is badly swollen. Some flashbacks of boxing matches
with punches to the face and torso; in a couple, a man is knocked to the mat. We see some
men boxing in the background of a scene. A woman punches another, knocking her to the
ground. A man and woman slap each other (she falls to the ground and is later seen with a
cut on her lip) and a man slaps another. Two men shove each other and nearly begin
fistfighting. A man kicks in a door. We see a dead man (some blood is on his shirt) and a
barely conscious man who's foaming at the mouth, presumably from a drug overdose. We
see and hear a man urinating into a urinal, a man vomits into a toilet and a man spits on
a speaker phone.
PROFANITY 10 - At least 65 F-words, some profane finger gestures, lots of
anatomical references and slang terms (including two references seen on a license plate),
many scatological references, lots of mild obscenities, several insults and lots of
name-calling. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Boxing, love triangles, friendship, homophobia, being haunted
by the past, religious convictions, big business.
MESSAGE - Determination and heart are as important as skill.
