In 1999 virtual reality tapes are black-market goods and
Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett try to solve a murder.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A brief virtual reality scene of a bare-breasted woman
climbing atop another bare-breasted woman. A woman takes off her top and rubs her breasts.
During a rape scene we see a woman's breasts. In virtual reality we see a man fondle a
woman's bare breasts (we see her breasts for an extended period of time), and we hear them
both moaning and sighing. A woman in a VR tape is handcuffed and gagged and we hear
moaning and see thrusting as a man makes love to her.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A violent rape scene has the man hitting and chasing the
woman before he handcuffs, gags her and cuts her shirt open. He then strangles her. In a
VR burglary scene we see people rush a restaurant, shoot people and hit them. A man falls
to his death. Many scenes of rioting and wild partying with the police seeming to use
excessive force to restore peace. A man is beaten up a few times and has bruises, cuts and
blood on his face. A man is stabbed in the back. A woman beats up people a few times. A
car is set on fire and drives into a river. A man is shot in the head and a woman is shot
in the back. Two people have their brains fried while on a VR "trip" and look
like zombies.
PROFANITY 9 - 30+ F-words, many scatological references, many mild
obscenities, some anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Virtual reality, murder and rape, the millennium, rioting,
corrupt police, racism.
MESSAGE - You shouldn't betray your own values. Even people living and
working on the fringes of society can be ethical.

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. |
