"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
China Moon | 1994 | R | - 6.6.5
Film noir/murder mystery with Ed Harris and Madeleine Stowe.
SEX/NUDITY 6 - One sex scene in which we don't see the actual act, but do see the woman completely naked. Another sex scene in which we see a woman's breasts. Sex is also implied a few times, but nothing is shown. One gruesome scene in which we see a dead woman's naked body.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - There are two dead bodies, one in a very badly decomposed state, the other leaves a long trail of blood. Two shooting scenes resulting in death. There is a lot of talk about weapons and killing. There are a few scenes in a morgue where we see dead bodies very briefly, and a couple of scenes of domestic violence -- husband slapping and punching and shoving his wife.
LANGUAGE 5 - The F-word is use several times along with scatological references and milder profanities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Extra-marital sex and relationships, betrayal, murder, conspiracy, greed, brutality.
MESSAGE - There's no way around the truth.
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.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - 5.7.5
Abigail - 1.9.10
Sasquatch Sunset - 8.7.0
Sting - 1.7.7
