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.
Sandra Bullock is back and is now on a runaway cruise
liner.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A couple are lying in bed with sheets up to bare shoulders.
Kissing, sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Lots of explosions and fires. Several people are trapped
in rooms with fires and several others are nearly pulled into a boat propeller. A runaway
boat nearly hits people and other boats and plows through a town. A man is hit in the arm
and there is some blood. A man has blood on his nose and a bruised face. A man has blood
on his shoulder and face. Some near drownings. A man and woman hit and slap each other in
the face. A man is hit in the head with a golf club and a man is hit and thrown overboard.
Reckless driving, colliding boats, scuffles, threatening with guns and chases.

PROFANITY 3 - Many scatological references, a few anatomical references, a
few mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Law enforcement, domestic terrorism.
MESSAGE - You never know when things might go wrong.
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.
