Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Billie is roughly interrogated by FBI agents. One agent slaps her repeatedly and is incredibly rough with her. He eventually scares her so much she pees herself. Her dress gets soaked with urine. A sympathetic character carries her away. This scene could be a bit intense for sensitive viewers.
  • Floyd gets shot by a long range rifle. We see him fall on the ground presumably dead.
  • Two federal agents gun down Nelson in a field. Later, we see him lying on the ground. This may be the most brutal violence in the entire film.
  • FBI agents go after a bunch of villians in a building. They run around the building shooting all of the villians but blood isn't visible because the scene is very dark so It's hard to make out what is happening.
  • Tommy is shot in the head but he survives.
