A man is forced to pull down his pants and we see his buttocks. One cop smacks them. Borderline sodomy/molestation.

Some sexual innuendo and references.

There is a scene where the camera focuses instantly on a television which is showing a woman's buttocks in (tanga) underwear while she is dancing.

We see a character's brother brutally beaten after having been in prison for quite a time - pretty graphic wound depiction

R violence type: brutal and graphic.

Level of violence: 8/10. Strong bloody violence.

Strong graphic violence.

We see the dead body of a drug dealer in the beginning during the investigation.

Graphic police brutality in the opening scene

We see a scene of a guy threatening to put a cigarette in a kid's eye (disturbing).

We see that same drug lord destroy the guy's car. Lots of damage.

We also see another dead guy's body later on (graphic somewhat, but not very detailed).

Cinemax content advisory: rated R for violence (V), graphic language (GL) and adult content (AC)

Pervasive language.

185 uses of "f*ck" many other scatological terms, many milder obscenities, many racial epithets.

The film is filled with drug-related dialogue and acts. Lots of scenes of drug dealing.

Some characters drink

Outright atmosphere of murder in this movie

The ending might sadden some.

The second half is very depressing.
