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.

VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Lots of gunfire, but not much blood. Two women are punched repeatedly in the face. Several dead bodies are seen in the distance. A torture scene in which a man is burned by cigarettes -- off screen -- and then he is doused with gasoline and set on fire. Another man is beaten and shot several times, as well as urinated on and finally shot in the head. A woman is attacked in an attempted rape: she is pushed around, beaten in the face and then forced to her knees to perform oral sex. Scenes of shooting up heroin including one in which two small boys are witnesses to their mother's shooting up and one is actually made to assist her. She goes into convulsions and dies in front of the children. The father is beaten and shot.

PROFANITY 9 - The F-word and its variations are used repeatedly. There are also racial slurs and insults. [profanity glossary]
