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. |

Tom Berenger is a mercenary who fills in as a substitute
teacher and discovers some nefarious drug dealing.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Kissing, a strip club scene has scantily clad women with
breasts and buttocks showing.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A couple of explosions, reckless driving with a car crash,
many scenes of people fighting with punching, kicking, and using objects as weapons.
People are thrown about (even through a window) and a few times we see some blood on
people's faces. People are threatened with guns, a woman is whacked in the kneecaps, many
people are killed by gunshots, people are stabbed a couple of times (but blood is not seen
often).
PROFANITY 8 - 25+ F-words, many scatological references and mild
obscenities, some anatomical references, a few racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Teaching, gangs, drug dealing, mercenaries.
MESSAGE - There are other reasons to fight apart from money.

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. |
