  • Squeeze -- Gritty tale of three ghetto youths (Tyrone Burton, Eddie Cutanda and Phuong Duong) who court danger by stealing from a drug dealer, then are torn between joining a rival drug gang or trying to go straight under the guidance of a caring youth worker. Writer-director Robert Patton-Spruill uses the sole perspective of the three teen dropouts to offer an overly sympathetic portrait of kids at risk in a violent but not particularly insightful story. Intermittent violence, crude sexual remarks, drug abuse and continuous rough language. (A-III) (R) ( 1997 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
