Sex & Nudity

  • The woman has sex on a countertop with the same man and we see bare thighs of both and her bra and cleavage, and we hear groans from both and screams from her. No nudity.
  • Some discussion of the "morning after-pill" and some other sexual talk.
  • Semi graphic sex scene and a woman gets out the pond showing full rear nudity
  • You see a woman's bare buttocks walking away from the camera.
  • In an apartment scene, a woman kisses a man twice, for a prolonged period of time.
  • A woman wearing a knee-length dress that is slit up the side to the waist hangs out of a speeding car (please see Violence/Gore for more details) and at one point her knees and thighs are nearly around the head and face of the male driver.
  • A man and a woman are briefly shown in bed, clothed and arguing. A man in an office looks at three different women from the back and states that they are "hot."

Violence & Gore

  • The film depicts dozens of scenes with several individuals shooting automatic weapons at one another, with several deaths that show small red holes between the eyes or at the heart level of the chest; the scenes show the bullets entering the bodies in slow motion and several drops of blood spurting out from the wound or a large blob of bright red blood flowing out of the mouth, and additional wounds occur to arms and one foot, through a shoe.
  • A man draws two guns and runs down a hall, through a glass window, and across a rooftop, firing at men holding guns: 5 or 6 are killed. One man is shot in the back of the head and dies; this moment is paused and then played in reverse. We see all the men, lying face down in pools of bright red blood.
  • Two assassination scenes show a bullet emerging from the foreheads of the victims with drops of blood flowing out, and then the bullet goes back through the head, out the back of the skull, and is pictured flying back into the gun.
  • It is implied that a man is burned to death
  • Several knife fights with foot-long blades occur between a young man and an older man: in several close-up shots we see the young man's jacket slashed and cuts on his arms, and knives are thrown past his head and stick into the wall behind him -- in one of these scenes the young man is stabbed cleanly through one hand and then in the abdomen (we see a little blood) and one such scene takes place in a darkened slaughter house amid hog carcasses that hang from meat hooks, with exposed bones and holes around the edges that look like they were made from gunshots.
  • A gunshot sounds, a woman slams into a chair and we see small spots of blood on the wall behind her, but no wound.
  • A gunfight involving four men occurs in an abandoned floor of a garage: one man is shot in the arm (we see a little blood) and one man is shot and killed (we see him fall to the floor and bleed from the mouth). Several scenes depict interrogation training sessions with a man and his trainer, who repeatedly punches him in the face after tying him into a chair (his face becomes covered in blood).
  • A man is smacked in the face with a keyboard in slow motion. Blood is shown drooling out of his mouth. We also see a bloody tooth flying
  • A woman is shown giving a man CPR (there's a lot of blood on the victim's face and her own); the victim revives but dies and further CPR is useless.
  • A man draws two guns and runs through a factory shooting several people; a knife wielding man sticks his blade down the barrel of one of the guns, and the man fires it into his chest, following it up with a stomping boot kick to drive it through the back, where we see a lot of blood.
  • Several people are shot in the temple and we see the bullets passing through their heads and blood flows out from the wounds.
  • Two men shoot at each other and one man dies from his wounds.
  • A man knocks another man who is tied to a chair to the floor; the man in the chair unties his bindings, gets up and breaks the chair over the other man's back.
  • A man stands up out of a bath, fully clothed, pulls down his sweater arm to reveal blood on his bicep, and reaches into the patch of blood to pull out a bullet.
  • A series of night scenes on a train show a man and a woman jump and ride train tops: The woman lies down to pass through a tunnel while the man jumps up to an overpass, two scenes show the couple together on the train roof with the man pointing his gun toward a window, and he fires and we see his target struck in the chest by the bullet (we see the bullet enter the heart area of the chest and splatter some blood outward from a small red hole).
  • A car catches up to a limo, flips over and the driver shoots and kills a man in the limo through his open sunroof.
  • A series of scenes involve handgun target practice in a slaughter house where four men and a woman practice curving their shots around a hanging butchered hog.
  • A man practices catching the fast moving shuttle out of an electric loom in several scenes, each time cutting his knuckles on the machinery; we see overly bright red blood splashed over the back of one hand each time.

Profanity

  • 1 obscene hand gesture.
  • 32 uses of "shit"
  • 25 uses of "ass"
  • 13 uses of "hell" and "damn"
  • 3 uses of "god damn" and 6 uses of "Jesus Christ"
  • Some minor name-calling.
  • 51 uses of "fuck"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Some discussion of the "morning after-pill".
  • A man is given a shot of vodka.
  • A man smokes a large cigar.
  • A man says he has anxiety that requires medication, we see a vial beside his bed and later he is seen taking a pill; in another scene, he takes out the vial when he becomes nervous but a man takes it and throws it away.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene with the train derailing and falling apart is quite intense.
  • A man has anxiety with his work and his boss.
  • Extremely VIOLENT! Not for kids, 17+
  • A scene involves human corpses hanging from a ceiling for target practice. Very suprisingly brutal beating.
  • A victim's head is impaled on a pistol and the shooter uses the body as a shield as he continues to shoot through the head.
  • Rats are used as explosives multiple times throughout, this may disturb some viewers.
