Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A man tortures another man by forcing him to watch his family get blown up by airstrikes. This is seen from a distance in the form of a building exploding. No blood or gore.
  • There is a shootout at night between American military men and Somali pirates. Blood spray and wounds are seen
  • A man empties an entire magazine of bullets into another man while he is down. This is off-screen but we see the body later from a distance. No wounds are seen
  • During a car chase scene, a man shoots at cops who are chasing his vehicle.
  • A helicopter pulls in front of a gang of cars and slaughters them mercilessly. There are blood splatters
  • Harsh action and violence throughout this film. Vehicles are blown up, airstrikes are ordered, people are shot at point-blank range with bloody results and hit over the head with guns.
  • A girl is seen punching one of her classmates in the face five times. She is later seen with cuts and bruises on her face, crying. The other girl has bloody scratch marks and blood on the collar of her shirt.
  • A man is shot and the bullet goes in one cheek and out the other. He has swollen, bloody wounds on both sides of his face for the rest of the film.
  • A teenager is shot in the head and killed
  • A woman and her young daughter attempt to escape from a group of suicide bombers. They fail and are killed in an explosion. Not graphic but a mother and her little girl being killed may upset some.

Profanity

  • 32 uses of "fuck", 12 uses of "shit", "hell," 4 "ass" and "bitch." Many profanities are heard in Spanish as well, some that are captured with subtitles.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Men teach young teenage boys how profitable trafficking cocaine can be.
  • People (including young boys) smoke cigarettes, as well as drinking hard liquor and beer.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Like the first film, this installment is just as bleak and disturbing with the drug war being the main subject.
  • The main character sustains a severe injury, and his fight for survival is fairly tense.
