"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Mad Dog and Glory | 1993 | R | - 6.6.6

Robert De Niro is a police photographer who inadvertently saves Bill Murray's life. Murray is a gangster and, out of gratitude sends De Niro a "thank-you" gift: Uma Thurman. Things get complicated when De Niro and Thurman fall in love, while Murray wants his "gift" back.

SEX/NUDITY 6 - We briefly see a naked couple through a window (twice). De Niro and Thurman are shown necking, and then making love. Both are shown topless, and there's passionate groping, moaning and kissing.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Two men are shot inside a car: blood spatters on the windows and upholstery. We see a number of bloody, dead bodies, throughout the movie. Also, rather morbidly, photos of dead bodies at crime scenes decorate De Niro's apartment (remember, he's a police photographer). There are two fist fights, complete with bloody noses and split lips. And, a woman is punched by her lover (we don't see it, but we do hear the noises). She ends up with a black eye.

LANGUAGE 6 - Lots of F-words, as well as sexually explicit and scatological language.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Prostitution and white-slavery, alcohol and drug abuse, loan-sharking and murder.

MESSAGE - You must take chances and stand up to bullies. Otherwise, you have already lost.

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.
