Kiss of Death | 1995 | R | - 6.8.8
David Caruso is a reformed convict pulled back into the underworld by attorneys and police.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - A few kisses and hugs. There are many scenes in a strip club thus we see fully nude and half nude female dancers dancing in the background.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man is shot in the hand and some blood is shown; a man is shot in the eye and he is shown rolling on the ground moaning; a man is shot with a hail of bullets and his body jerks around as he screams; and a man is shot in the head and we see a huge, bloody hole as blood splatters. A woman is shown screaming in a car as a truck barrels down on her. Several people are beaten in the face, with blood splattering around. A body is shown being stuffed into a garbage bag after being beaten. The beating scene is very violent although not very gory.
LANGUAGE 8 - 50+ F-words, 20+ scatological terms, a large number of milder obscenities, and some sexual references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death of a loved one, getting a second chance, co-operating with the government, revenge, lack of choice.
MESSAGE - Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do in order to protect your family; family is what is most important. Ultimately, crime doesn't pay.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Heretic - 3.6.3
