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. |

Alec Baldwin stars as the mysterious Shadow, and Penelope
Ann Miller as his lovely sidekick, Margo Lane.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - One big kiss, and a few scenes of a woman in a negligee or
slinky dress, some exposing her back and a little cleavage. Two women are seen in bed with
a man, obviously nude, but we see only bare arms and legs. Some sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - There are many scenes of violence, some with blood.
Several men are shot to death. Several men are stabbed: one in the chest, one in the
stomach, and one in the forehead with a shard of glass. An animated dagger stabs a man in
the leg, and then the dagger handle bites his hand. Several punch-ups ending in bloodied
faces, and several men are presumably dead. A man is thrown through the windshield of a
car. A man shoots himself in the head -- off screen. A car blows up with a man inside. Two
men are shot with arrows. Two men fall off a balcony and land on a large cement eagle,
another jumps from the Empire State Building, and he bounces off ledges on the way down,
and yet another falls off a balcony and we hear him hit the pavement. A man peels off his
face -- in a dream. A man almost drowns in a big room filled with water. A bloody battle
field is shown, with sword play.
PROFANITY 2 - A handful of mild profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Delusions of grandeur, savagery, mysticism, telepathy.
MESSAGE - Forgive yourself for the past. Redemption is possible, even for
the worst crime.

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. |
