Sex & Nudity

  • Implied sex, leading up to it, in a very explicit way.
  • A stripper wears skimpy underwear, which reveals her bare butt. Her bra reveals most of her boobs but not her nipples. She takes off her outfit completely but is not seen on screen. The scene lasts several minutes while dialogue is ongoing.
  • There is a scene from a strip bar with topless women pole dancing in the background
  • Explicit language and fantasies described in an online sex chatroom. The computer screen (which we see) has women's breasts and rear nudity visible on the edge of the screen. This is seen repeatedly throughout the scene.
  • In the main stripper scene, the man's tone is quite harsh, bordering on violence, as he instructs the stripper to spread her legs, then "show me" (she pulls her panties to one side, revealing her vagina to him (but not the camera/viewer), and at the end of the scene, says "You're going to strip and bend over and touch the floor for my viewing pleasure." The level of (borderline violent) objectification here will be disturbing to some.
  • A discussion about a sexual encounter not seen or hinted at in any part of the film, that lasted all night.
  • Almost constant explicit sexual dialogue and language.
  • A stripper is shown topless from behind (no nudity) and then shows a man her vagina (again no nudity).
  • A man prepares to leave his hotel room to buy cigarettes. As he pulls-up his pants from underneath his bathrobe, some of his pubic hair is briefly seen.

Violence & Gore

  • A man slaps a woman.
  • A woman is knocked down by a car but she is only superficially harmed. A large bloody wound covering her leg is shown with several large gashes.

Profanity

  • Explicit language including 35 uses of fuck, most of them sexually, 4 cunts, and frequent sexual language.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some alcohol use throughout.
  • A character smokes cigarettes. Some alcohol use.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A man watches in panic as a woman gets hit by a car while trying to cross the road, but almost immediately, it is shown that she survived the accident.
