SEX/NUDITY 2 - There's a passionate kiss and one brief sex scene: the man is clothed, the woman is in her underwear, they kiss, they lie down but nothing happens.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - There's one brief fist-fight, and a number of people get shot, one in the head; blood oozes from his forehead and mouth. Two women are killed by having their necks broken. One man falls to his death, while the camera follows him closely. And one man is almost suffocated by a plastic bag on his head.
LANGUAGE 6 - Some F-words and scatological terms.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Assassination, alcoholism, divorce, pre-marital sex, guilt.
MESSAGE - Redemption is possible.
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.
