VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Several people are hurt and killed during a bus/train wreck. Ford is shown to have a nasty-looking side wound, which he stitches shut himself. Gerard shoots and kills an escaped convict. Lots of violent fist fighting takes place, and the one-armed man shoots a cop on an elevated train. Several people are bloody after being shot.
LANGUAGE 4 - Mainly locker room-level profanity: No F-words, just some scatological terms.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder, death, obsession, being wrongly condemned and blind justice, the death penalty, corruption in the medical industry.
MESSAGE - Justice can be achieved through tenacity.
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.
Nickel Boys - 1.5.5
Kraven the Hunter - 1.7.5
Maria - 3.3.6
That Christmas - 2.2.1
Nightbitch - 6.6.6
