VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A couple of kids poke each other with a fencing foil. A man is grabbed around the throat and roughed up -- off-camera. A man is threatened with a knife, and is knocked around a bit. Men are knocked down by a sack of dung, a plaster bust, and a banjo. There is a free-for-all, filled with punches. A bad guy slides off a mountain, where he is caught by a rope, and a man falls off a ladder onto a scaffold.
LANGUAGE 2 - A mild curse word is uttered once. A scatological term is whispered once, and almost used again, but aborted in mid-syllable.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnapping, attempted murder.
MESSAGE - Money doesn't buy happiness.
(Note: A Road Runner cartoon precedes the film. It contains typical cartoonish violence.)
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.
