SEX/NUDITY 5 - Exotic dancers dance in a club: they are topless exposing bare breasts and

wear thongs that reveal bare buttocks, as they dance on the stage, twirl around poles and

around men.

► We hear that a married man was obsessed with going to strip clubs, taking clients and

associates there, and taking dancers with him to his of�ce. We also hear that an exotic

dancer became pregnant by a married man who visited her strip club frequently.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man parks his car in a dark, secluded area, we see a �ash, hear a bang, and we are told that

the man committed suicide (we see a cof�n and people gathered at a funeral later), and we see a suicide note.

► We see an accident scene where cars are smashed up and people are taken away on stretchers. A man �ips a

motorcycle into the air over a deep chasm, and a man jumps off a cliff and glides downward.

► We see a photograph of a man getting stitches in his lip (there is blood on his mouth and chin). A woman hits a

man in the face with a pie (we see goo on his face). A crowd of people yells at a man.

► We hear about people undertaking risky "daredevil stunts" (sky diving, dirt biking, rock climbing, etc.) and that a

man was almost killed when the car he was driving �ipped over. A man wearing handcuffs is taken out of a car, and

another man is shown wearing handcuffs. We hear that a man went to jail.

LANGUAGE 5 - 12 F-words and its derivatives, 1 scatological term, 3 anatomical terms, 2 mild obscenities, name-

calling (idiots), 1 religious profanity.

SUBSTANCE USE - A man smokes while driving a car. A man drinks alcohol from a bottle. Someone asks a man: "I

would like to know if you are on crack."

the review continues below.. .

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Conceit, deception, betrayal, fraud, corruption, the stock market, bankruptcy, pride,

arrogance, greed, in�delity, capitalism, free enterprise, suicide, child molesters, insider trading, destruction of

evidence, the American Dream, deregulation, natural gas industry, lobbying, arms dealers, gambling, energy

delivery, children out of wedlock, corporate crime, whistle blowers, innovation, power, manic depression.

MESSAGE - Capitalism without rules is an invitation to the unscrupulous to commit fraud. The deregulation of

energy delivery has been in many ways a disaster.

CAVEATS

p 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.

p We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering �lms 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.

p Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of �lms; 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.
