Al Pacino stars as a blind, sullen veteran who's escorted
on a New York trip by a high school student. They bond, and together manage to solve each
other's quandaries.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - No nudity apart from a baby girl shown nude in the bath tub.
There are, however, discussions of sex and one insinuated sex scene with a prostitute:
Pacino is dropped at the entrance of a hotel and told which apartment a woman is in. He
comes back hours later.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Pacino threatens his escort with a gun, and then threatens
to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head; there's a scuffle between the two men.
There's a high-speed drive through deserted Manhattan streets, and a man and his Jaguar
are doused with paint.
PROFANITY 8 - Approximately 26 F-words, 6 references to the female and male
anatomy, 6 sexual references, 20 scatological terms. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Blindness and hopelessness, integrity, lying to cover for a
friend, suicide, strained family relations.
MESSAGE - Life is what you make of it. Don't snitch, even when you may be
severely punished for your position.
