"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
The Real McCoy | 1993 | PG-13 | - 3.3.5
Kim Basinger stars as a convicted super-thief, who's forced to go back to work when it's her son's life vs. pulling off a grand plan worth $18 million.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - There's one scene where sex is implied (overheard) but not seen, although the language is explicit. We find out that it was a man watching a pornographic video. There's a quick flash to the TV screen where a woman is stretched across a man with her bare buttocks covered only by a g-string.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - There are several scenes where various people are held at gunpoint, including a nine-year-old boy. Kim Basinger is beaten up several times by different men. Gore is kept to a minimum, although there are some bloody, battered and bruised faces. Scenes with large, man-eating dogs and tigers are threatening and may be scary for kids. One implied death -- although the person may have survived. It is left unclear.
LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word, several anatomical references, as well as a number of scatological terms and some name-calling.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnapping, bank robbery, divorce, sexual harassment.
MESSAGE - Everybody deserves a second chance in life.
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.
