It's "Die Hard on Wheels" as Keanu Reeves and
Sandra Bullock go after mad bomber Dennis Hopper.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - There is no sex or nudity, just mild talk of sex and some
chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - The film is loaded with explosions and gunplay, but not
too much blood. And, there is the constant fear of disaster. One of the most gruesome
scenes is of a security guard being stabbed in the head. In another scene, one of the bus'
passengers drops through the floor of the bus and is killed. The body is shown being
tossed around the freeway for a second or two. And, a fight on top of a subway train
causes one man's head to be ripped off violently.
PROFANITY 5 - A few F-words, and about half a dozen scatological and
anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, violence, revenge and death.
MESSAGE - The usual: Good will triumph over evil.

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. |
