Murder at 1600 | 1997 | R | - 5.6.5

A murder at the White House has law enforcement and high-ranking officials scrambling for answers.

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A sex scene with a couple partially reclining on a desk with moaning, heavy breathing and thrusting; her breasts are seen as are his buttocks. The breasts of a female corpse are clearly shown. Suggestive dancing. Sexual innuendo.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - A few people are shot with some blood: in the chest, neck, and forehead. A trail of blood with a corpse lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds (this shot is shown a few times). Blood is seen on a man's face as another person snaps his neck. Other people are shot -- no blood is seen. A man is knocked out with a punch to the face resulting in a bloody nose. Hostages are shown on television being beaten (hit in the head with guns). Blood is seen on a corpse's chest. An explosion. A car flips over. A few chases, a few fistfights (punches, knee in the groin) and threatening with guns.

LANGUAGE 5 - Two F-words, a couple of anatomical references, some mild obscenities, a few scatological references.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Law enforcement, murder, the Presidency and politics.

MESSAGE - You must investigate to discover 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.
