VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A sniper shoots a man on a motorcycle, who is thrown in flames off the motorcycle, through the air and into the whirring engine of a plane, causing it to explode (we see a man on the plane also engulfed in flames).
 There are several scenes that feature a sniper that shoots and kills people from a great distance (we see the strikes but blood is not usually evident). A man holds a knife to the throat of a small boy, he's shot by another man (we hear the shots but do not see the outcome) and the boy is taken away unharmed.

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.
