I tried showing my kids this flick for "movie night". We did not make it through it. The kids were put off by the tone and the sexual charge and the story didn't engage them. I'll chalk this up to my mistake. I never loved this one and simply didn't remember it well enough. The kids liked "The Matrix" well enough and yeah. My mistake.

Not recommended. Particularly for 8-12 year olds.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
