I think it should've gotten a 9/10 for violence, but...whatever. There aren't any guts or anything. Just volcano people..........
Maybe a 1/10 for sexual content though because of that freaky drunk guy grabbing the girl by the wrist and saying "I'd love to open up your borders. Let's have a cultural exchange, shall we?" I mean, it wasn't that bad and the guy was evil and got his tail kicked inside-out by Shigure, but I think that counts.

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

That sounds like a typical ADV dub
Make it crude and tacky when they can't give it a 13+ rating.
And on that point, I'd probably disagree on the review saying it was OK for 14 and up. I think it was violent enough to warrant an R rating.

Yeah wonder what he said in the original? 
Probably "you're pretty" or something...

I may have been comparing it too closely too the OVAs when rating the violence. For me it takes more than ample amounts of blood to rate something a nine. I raise the rating based on the brutality and extent of the violence, not the amount of blood drawn. I considered the movie only mildly worse than the more graphic scenes in the TV series, so that's why I gave it a 14 for age.
Heart of Sword may have a point about the sexual content though. I didn't think of that part, and I tend to pay more attention to the subs, except to watch for language.

Oh. Well compared to the OVAs, the movie's like PG rated at the most. o_O

I would say that the first OVA eps were excessively gory, like they were trying to compete with Ninja Scroll or something.
Both would probably get an R rating, but this shows there are degrees of violence.

Not in sex, but the violence in "Trust" was way up there. It's as if the managers told the artists they couldn't have any new paint until they finished up the rest of the reds...
