Sex & Nudity

  • A few bed scenes (but nothing explicit)
  • Some remarks
  • A very crude remark is made about the dad not getting "his d$ck wet" and about the mother being a lesbian

Violence & Gore

  • The most brutal scenes are of domestic violence. An angry husband beats his wife throughout the movie, and we can see her bruises. One of the reasons this movie is rated R.
  • The son, angry at his father, talks about hurting his father, twice, one involve killing him and another about "break his jaw."
  • A robbery takes place, and the man being robbed has a gun to his head.
  • We see a man threatening a guy for not getting his stolen money back.
  • The same husband grabs his son at the end, in anger. We see threats of an "ass-kicking" earlier on.

Profanity

  • Compared to most R-rated movies, the profanity in this one is a bit tame, but there's a still good amount of F-bombs through the movie, as well as other profanities.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The plot of this movie deals with an alcoholic father, lots of drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Intense: the whole movie revolves around one youngster's plot to steal money to escape the poverty he's in. The theme of the family having nothing is very upsetting. This is a sad movie.
  • Lots of scenes with domestic violence.
  • The ending will make many sad. Not a movie with a happy ending.

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • Lots of confrontations in this movie. But it usually never escalates to violence. Nothing particularly graphic (the worst it gets is when we see a closeup at the end of the dead father's face). There's only 2 shootings in this movie (and even they're not graphic).
