EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY / COMMENTARY:
"The F Zone", PG-13 -- it's not what you might
expect of the entertainment industry. It stands for "Federal Zone." Citizens who
do not live in federal zones such as Washington DC and others are the only ones
who are legally required to pay federal income tax. At least, that is what the
movie tells you.
A male actor contemplated suicide by placing a gun in
his mouth and to his chin (the suicide did not happen). A scene of sexual
intercourse was masked to the point of no exposure to private regions of the
human body. Gestapo-style federal police action brutalized three women at the
beginning of the show. The chief thug in the federal police coterie was mighty
rude, bitter, and despicable. Three staged murders (known by the audience as
staged) which were somewhat graphic and might need your wisdom to explain them
to younger folks. There were none of the typical three/four letter vocabulary
words and none of the most foul of foul words. The less polite expression for
"ticked off" was used once. There were sexual innuendo, an adult male in a
shower, and gaping mouth kissing. Only one instance of Drugs/Alcohol which was
unmistakably alcoholic was noted in the form of drinking to deal with sorrows.
And only one use of God's name in vain without the four letter expletive was
noted. Also found were Hollywood style of preacher talk (which is rarely
accurate - usually made to sound Spiritual but upon inspection is not) and
talking to a grave (or the 'resident' of it) for advice.
FINDINGS / SCORING:
Wanton Violence/Crime (W):
unnecessary use of force by police
despicable attitude of law enforcement official
abuse of government authority
intimidation at gunpoint
shouting argument
childish display of anger
talk of and contemplation of suicide with firearm at head
Gestapo-style police beating with inappropriate touch
stupidity with firearms and abuse of the authority they present
(2) The use of the three/four letter word vocabulary
without God's name is incorporated into the Impudence/Hate Investigation Area.
The use of God's name with or without the three/four letter word vocabulary is
incorporated into the Offense to God Investigation Area. There is no
duplication. As required of the Holy Scriptures, unless God's name is used with
reverence to His glory and praise, its use is considered in vain, whether
literal or euphemistic.
(3) Only portrayal of successful murder or suicide
are incorporated into Murder/Suicide. Presentation of attempts to commit murder
or suicide and deaths by police action or war are incorporated into Wanton
Violence/Crime.
