Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- Costello has a girlfriend who is probably 35-40 years younger than him. In a few scenes it is implied that they will have sex.
- Early in the film Frank Costello calls a girl, presumably 14-16, behind the counter and asks her if she wants to have sex with him (the girl before on the counter is seen to be making eye contact with Frank) this is played as a joke.
- Costello is heard masturbating in a theater. He then stands up and turns around to face another character, a penis is briefly shown on screen, though it is obviously fake and he was merely joking, not actually masturbating. Then Costello later talks about "not understanding how people masturbate in a theater." The act isn't shown and the scene is meant to be funny.
- A man and a woman passionately kiss on a bed for around 20 seconds. He is clothed, she is wearing an unbuttoned shirt with a see through bra. She is in her underwear.
- Many vulgar sexual references throughout
- Most of the movies sexual content are crude sexual references and brief nudity in the cinema scene.

Violence & Gore

- When Mr French and Frank search Billy for a wire they grab his broken hand and bash it on the table. Frank then asks him if he's a cop twice while he's hitting his injured arm with his boot. This can be very intense and disturbing for some viewers.
- Towards the end Billy is shot in the head and he falls to the ground blood is seen in the background after another cop comes out and is shot in the head as well, after Colin shoots the cop in the head that killed Costigan and Brown. This scene is very upsetting, unexpected, graphic, and disturbing.
- All of Costello's men die in a bloody fashion, men are shot left and right with blood spraying, but two of the more notable ones are when one man gets shot in his stomach, and tries to stay alive while he bleeds, he then kills himself offscreen, he eventually gets blown up while his car is on fire. Another is when Costello is shot in the lower hip, and there is a lot of blood around the wound. He then coughs up a lot of blood, leaving blood on his lips and teeth for a while, until one man shoots him 4 times, and he dies.
- The final scene of the whole movie depicts Colin getting shot in the head, a lot of blood splatters on the door behind him, blood starts pouring out of the wound and beneath his head.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- In one scene DiCaprio and Damon follow each other. They then see each other and pull out guns and knives. This scene may be intense for some viewers.
- The ending is very depressing.
- Near the end of the movie, when Billy goes down the elevator with Colin, he is suddently shot in the head after going out of the elevator. Very emotional scene.
- None of the main characters have a happy ending.
