With its PG-13 audience rating, Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile doesn't offer up much objectionable in the sex or violence departments, though it does nevertheless open with a shockingly racy instance of enthusiastic dry-humping that ensures you won't want to watch this one with your parents.

In an establishing scene set in a London club, we focus on Jacqueline de Bellefort (Emma Mackey) on the dance floor with her fiancé Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer), where the two are grinding each other with such vigour it's surprising there's any material on their clothes left.

The scene goes on for almost two solid minutes, with the pair switching up several intimate "positions" during their "dance," before Branagh mercifully cuts away.
