VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - Played for laughs: a man headbutts a great deal, gets caught in a plane's door prior to take-off (and thus takes off with the plane), is dragged behind a car, slams his fingers in a car trunk, is pinned behind a runaway fridge and falls down a hillside on his face.
LANGUAGE 5 - Three F-words, some scatological references, some mild obscenities and a couple of anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Political ambition, brother relationships, family loyalty.
MESSAGE - People are voted into office not merely on their own merits -- family can influence the vote too.
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.
Brave the Dark - 3.5.5
Anora - 8.4.10
Flight Risk - 3.5.9
The Room Next Door - 3.3.5
Presence - 4.4.9
