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. |

Clint Eastwood is a reformed outlaw who straps his guns on
for the last time because he's a pig-farmer with sick pigs, and a bounty, offered for the
killing of a couple of cowboys who slashed a prostitute, sounds like easy money.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - In the opening scene, a man and woman are shown having
"mechanical" sex, in a brothel. They are partially dressed. Women of the brothel
are shown in undergarments of the period. No nudity.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - In the first scene, a woman gets cut on the face several
times. Very little is shown, but the sound of slicing is audible. Richard Harris is kicked
repeatedly until bloody. Morgan Freeman is whipped with a bull-whip while strapped to the
bars of a jail cell. Clint Eastwood is kicked and punched until he can no longer stand.
Several people are shot and are shown bleeding. Violence is not cartoonish; it is shown
with great realism.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is used once, and some scattered foul language. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death, violence, prostitution and the complexity of killing:
For money, honor or any other noble or ignoble cause.
MESSAGE - You really can't teach an old dog new tricks.

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. |
