Sex & Nudity
-
- A man is seen walking towards a motel with a woman.
- Other than a few kisses nothing to be concerned about.
Violence & Gore
-
- Realistic and rather infrequent violence. There are a number of killings. No gore, just a lot of blood when people get shot. Although the violence is infrequent, it can still be pretty brutal because of how realistic it is.
- A couple of cars are blown up throughout.
- A man is beaten up at a grocery store, he gets battered through a door and his hand is stomped on several times. Lots of screaming and crunching noises. Pretty brutal.
- A man is strangled, and then his body is then thrown into a tree shredder, lots of blood and gore is shown spraying from the shredder. This is the bloodiest scene in the film.
- Two soldiers are forced to dig their own graves. They beg for their lives and then are executed. Blood sprays out when they are shot.
- A man is shot two times in the head, blood sprays onto the wall and blood pools beneath his head. A photograph of his dead body is shown in the news paper.
- A man is shot in the head and face, lots of blood spurts out and this scene is shown in slow motion, with the blood spraying out in slow motion.
- A man enters a restaurant and shoots two men seated at a table with women and children (blood sprays out); one man limps toward the door and out to the sidewalk where he is shot two more times (blood sprays from his back) and he lies dead on the ground.
- A man is tackled to ground and beaten about the face. This happens twice, one time in prison, the other in a restaurant.
- A character is shot in the face, he is then shot three more times. Blood splatters on a window, and blood pools beneath his head. A close up of his face is seen for a long time. There are graphic bullet holes in his face and blood is leaking out of the holes and his mouth.
- Two hitmen walk into a barber shop and shoot a man to death offscreen. The bloody dead body is later seen in the papers
- A man slices a chickens throat with a razor, blood sprays onto the man's face.
Profanity
-
- Jimmy Hoffa says "cocksucker" constantly
- Two derogatory terms for Italians.
- 136 uses of "fuck", 20 uses of "cocksucker", 40 uses of "shit", and other expletives throughout.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking throughout
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Infrequent bloody violence.
- "The Irishman" is a violent movie but compared to other Martin Scorsese's gangster films like "Casino" and "Goodfellas", it is much tamer.
- The overall tone of the film is incredibly bleak, even when the mood is lighter it's still faintly sorrowful, especially the last half hour.
Spoilers
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Many major characters die. The final minutes have to do with contemplating death.
