Sex & Nudity

  • A man watches a woman through an apartment window as she undresses (her bare back is visible) and puts on a robe; she then removes the robe in front of another man in preparation for a massage (we see her bare buttocks).
  • A man arrives at a woman's apartment as she lies on a table, nude, being massaged by another man (we see her bare back, the side of her bare breast, and her buttocks are covered by a towel); they talk, the man kisses her, and he leaves.

Violence & Gore

  • A man opens a car door and another man's corpse falls out (we see a lot of blood on his nose and clothing).
  • In a dream sequence, a man enters a dark house and envisions several startling and disturbing images: a large bird flies out of a cabinet and a young girl pulls the eye off of a teddy bear (blood pours); the girl follows the man through several rooms and up a staircase; doors fly open and she appears in front of him (we hear a scream).
  • A man shoves another man against a wall in a dark tunnel and holds a knife to his throat, asking for his wallet and coat; the other man complies and leaves; a woman approaches the first man from behind and we hear a groan as he is presumably killed.
  • A man forcibly grabs a woman and begins to shout at her, but ceases.
  • A man's corpse is shown lying on the floor (we see blood on his nose and hand and a trail of blood on a filing cabinet).
  • A woman stabs a man in the back with a knife (we later see some blood on his clothing and hand).
  • A woman appears in front of another woman, brandishing a knife with blood on her hand; she chases the woman into a room and the second woman hides behind a locked door; the first woman sticks the knife through the door, nearly stabbing the other woman, and chases her onto a balcony overlooking the ocean; she raises the knife and tells her to jump; the other woman turns away and the woman with the knife falls over the balcony railing; the other woman grabs her hand, but her jacket sleeve rips and she falls, landing on a rock below (we understand she is dead).

  • At least 2 anatomical terms, some sexual references, 1 mild obscenity, 2 religious exclamations.
