After a 13-year-old naval academy student is accused of
theft and expelled from school, his family sacrifices everything to bring his case to
court and prove his innocence. With Nigel Hawthorne, Jeremy Northam, Rebecca Pidgeon,
Gemma Jones, Guy Edwards, Matthew Pidgeon, Colin Stinton, Aden Gillett and Sarah Flind.
Directed by David Mamet. [1:44]
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A kiss, some very mild flirtation, and a father scolds his
son for being discovered in a "position" with a young woman (apparently they
were dancing).
VIOLENCE/GORE 0 - None.
PROFANITY 1 - A mild obscenity. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Defending your honor, false accusations, the English legal
system, persistence, unspoken communication, the Suffragists.
MESSAGE - Defending your family's honor at all costs, literally, can do
as much harm as it does good; never give up when you think you're right.

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. |
