Very good, really liked it

I saw this movie over Netflix and I liked it so much I ended up buying it on DVD. The movie is amazing, realistic, and well acted. (Ford's only nomination to date for best actor of 1985) For nudity: Mcgillis takes a sponge bath and you can briefly see her topless. For violence: A man is shot against a wall and falls down spilling some blood on a wall. A man's throat is sliced and you can briefly see a line of blood on his neck, (last around 5 seconds.) A man is smothered in falling corn, (This scene lasts about 3 minutes.) Ford's punches a man and breaks his nose causing lots of blood to spill out. Ford is shot in a parking garage and some blood is seen falling down onto a plastic bag. For profanity: There are around 7-f bombs, (1 is barely heard and can be missed.) 2-3 S***t 1 possible b*ll 2 *ss and *sshole 2-3 h*ll (2 are said when a man is yelling so it is hard to tell, there may be more.) The entire film is 112 minutes and a lot of it is calm but kept at a good steady pace. Harrison Ford is at his best in this film. It is mostly during the last 20 minutes of the film that younger viewers might find intense. This film is my very favorite and I would suggest that parents let children ages 12 and up see it and discuss some issues afterwords. When I first heard about this thought Aww another cop movie... But when I saw it first I was amazed! The film's music is the best ever! I think that this film is the best ever. It was nominated for 8 academy awards and best actor of 1985 I would say: Watch this once and you'll love it! Ages 12 and up.
