ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

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. |

Eric Stoltz and Christopher Walken star as two very
un-cuddly angels as humans get trapped in the middle of a war in heaven.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A poster of three naked women with their derrieres toward us
(they're bent over) is clearly seen in the background. Also, we briefly see the cover of a
Playboy-type magazine: a woman is partly covering her nude breasts. A non-sexual kiss.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A man sees visions of angels screaming with bloody wings
and torsos and we see images of impaled, writhing angels. A fight between two men leaves
splattered blood around a room and one man has a shard of glass through his neck from a
fall through a window. We later see his twisted, bloody, mutilated body a few times. A man
is shown with empty sockets for eyes, mottled flesh and gaping wounds. A man is flung
around a bit, erupts in flames and we see his charred, grotesque face talking. A man
yank's out the bloody heart of another man. A man is shot a few times and walks around
with bloody wounds on his torso and a man finds a trunk of withered, human faces. A woman
is brought back from death and she gags and shudders. A man and woman are flung from a car
during an accident.
PROFANITY 5 - Seven F-words, a couple of scatological references, and a
handful of mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Heaven and Hell, God and Satan, the afterlife, angels,
spirituality.
MESSAGE - Humans have souls and God loves humans. Sometimes we must fight to
retain our faith.

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. |
