Sex & Nudity

  • A man's dead body is buried naked in the snow. We only see the buttocks while snow is being thrown over the body.
  • Some discussions of sex and sexual references occur, but nothing is too graphic.

Violence & Gore

  • A man shoots a man in the head and his head blows apart (blood and matter are clearly visible). A man is shot through the back (we see a large bloody hole open in his chest and we see the shocked look on his face as he topples over).
  • Two men shoot back and forth at each other: one man is struck in the leg (we see blood spurt), the other in the arm, and then one is shot in the back while a third man jumps out a window and crashes onto the ground hurting his leg; one of the two men left inside is shot in the head (blood pools on the floor).
  • A man grabs a young teen, punches him, throws him on the ground, continues to punch him in the head and face while holding his hand over his mouth, pulls on his ear while threatening to tear it off, and slams his head on the ground repeatedly (he eventually stops beating him and the boy runs away).
  • Two men point guns at a man standing on a chair, one fires and strikes the man in the head, the man is flung into a picture on the wall breaking the glass, blood spurts and sprays on the wall and the man falls to the floor dead; the man's young son looks on while his wife cries and screams and she has blood on her hands and face from touching him. A man shoots himself in the chest (we hear the shot and the man slumps over with a large blood spot on his chest).
  • Characters struck hard on the head with the butt of a gun with blood seen running down the face of one.
  • A man cuts the heads off two live snakes with a knife as they squirm and bleed.
  • A character attacks another who mocked him, punching at him.
  • A dead body is shown to a group of people and photographed. A dead man is dumped into a ditch and covered with snow. We see a dead animal hanging by a rope around its neck outside a man's residence.
  • A man points a shotgun at a man who turns toward him, we hear no shot and the scene ends but it is implied that the man is shot. Several scenes where characters discuss violence and inflicting it on others, making threats.

Profanity

  • "Jesus" exclaimed twice.
  • One use of the word "cunny", a slang for the word "cunt"
  • One use of "nigger".
  • A few uses of 'Shit' 3 uses of 'Damn' 1 use of 'Bitch' and 1 use of 'Bastard'.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Men and women are seen smoking cigars.
  • Men and women drink, some people get drunk and collapse.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The movie discusses Jesse James and the severe depression he suffered from. He talks about suicide briefly as he attempts to shoot the ice around his feet. He says that he can't death wait for death because he has already seen the other end. Jesse is constantly losing his cool and acting strange throughout.
  • Some scenes in the movie may be intense or unsettling. There are dark themes, as well as some abrupt violence that will frighten younger viewers.
