An excitement-starved nurse (Linda Fiorentino) discovers
one of her patients is a notorious bank robber (Paul Newman) pretending to be a stroke
victim and offers to keep his secret if he helps her and her husband (Dermot Mulroney)
pull off a heist. Also with Susan Barnes and Frankie Faison. [1:28]
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Some sexual innuendo and kissing. A husband unzips his wife's
shirt (we see her undershirt) and they kiss passionately; she turns around and leans on a
table, then at a distance we partially see his back as he thrusts (we hear her moan
briefly). A woman props her leg on a wheelchair near an unconscious man's face, sits on
his lap and swivels her hips, puts his head between her clothed cleavage and his hands on
her clothed buttocks (we see this in close-up), and licks her finger and runs it across
his lips. A woman sits in a man's lap and kisses him while he's driving; he also puts his
hand on her clothed breast and she puts his hand on the front of her skirt. We see a nude
man holding a towel in front of his groin area, most of a woman's bare legs when she bends
over in a short skirt, a man's bare shoulders as he's bathing in a tub, two men in boxers
and undershirts and a few women in cleavage-revealing tops.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Some scenes of reckless driving in which cars nearly
collide; in one scene a car drives off a small drop-off (we see the unharmed passengers'
legs sticking up from the front seat) and in another scene a car drives off a cliff and
into water below (we see the car sink). A woman pushes an unconscious man in a wheelchair
into a lake; also, a man falls out of his wheelchair and hits the ground face-first. A man
cuts the brake lines on a motorcycle; in a later scene the driver apparently runs into a
parked car (we hear a crash, then see him lying on the ground) and gets some bloody facial
cuts and a bloody nose. Two men extinguish cigarettes in their palms (one of the men
appears to be in pain) and two men are bound with duct tape. A man beats the top of a car
and yells at a man inside. A couple instances of threatening with guns. A choking woman is
given the Heimlich maneuver and spits out a piece of food. We hear a woman vomit.
PROFANITY 4 - A few anatomical references, a scatological reference, lots of
mild obscenities and some insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Robbery, nursing homes, boredom, stroke victims, jealousy,
taking risks, loyalty.
MESSAGE - Taking risks (especially illegal risks) can bring happiness and
excitement back to your life. Thieves can be more loyal and trustworthy than law-abiding
citizens.
