Based on the Stephen King novel, this film has an attorney
worried about excessive weight loss when a gypsy puts a curse on him.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo, bare male buttocks (nude man weighing
himself), a woman raises her skirt and we see revealing thong underwear. A woman touches
her husband and then performs oral sex on him (no nudity but we see her hand and head
moving suggestively as well as his reactions).
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Disfigured people: a man with a disgusting sore on his
face, a man with bloody sores all over his face, a man looks like a snake complete with
scales. A woman is run over by a car and leaves blood on the windshield. A man squeezes
his own hand and blood drips down his arm. Several beatings -- a woman's head is bloody
after it's bashed against a ladder, bloody scratch marks on a man's face. Gory scenes: A
bloody corpse with a chicken head sticking out of its mouth, a ball bearing is shot
through a hand (a lot of blood), a man twists a knife through a man's hand, blood is
squeezed out of a hand and into a pie, a bloody corpse is found. Reckless driving,
explosions. Threatening with guns, attempted shots with a slingshot containing ball
bearings, a shoot-out uses machine guns and results in explosions. One man is shot to
death after he's been bashed on the head.
PROFANITY 6 - About 10 F-words, an obscene gesture, a couple of scatological
references, some mild obscenities, a few anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Gypsies and curses, attorneys, the Mafia, revenge and
justice.
MESSAGE - Justice will prevail; you must take responsibility for your
actions.

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. |
