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. |

Based on John Grisham's novel, a young attorney represents
a black father accused of murdering his daughter's rapists.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A few explosions and fires, a few scenes where people are
beaten up and terrorized (later we see bruises, blood and scratches on them). People are
shot and sometimes killed, a pool of blood is shown after one shooting, blood spurts from
a gunshot wound once, a close-up knife cut with blood. A girl is raped and we see her
limbs tied and the men climbing on top of her from her viewpoint; we see her legs kicking
as she is strung up from a tree. Later we see her bloody, scratched legs and her bloody,
swollen, disfigured face.
PROFANITY 4 - One flip of the bird, some mild obscenities and scatological
references, a few anatomical references, many racial slurs. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Racism, revenge, rape, the legal system.
MESSAGE - Keep fighting racism because it still exists.

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. |
