Sex & Nudity

  • Lengthy & explicit full female nudity opens the movie featuring a naked female, post sex, gratuitously displaying her nude breasts, body, buttocks & genital labia while her male lover remains in bed covered by a bedsheet taking on the phone with the female also mounting the male & initiating more sex with drugs use.
  • A man picks up several magazines and says they are pornographic. He then tells another man he should masturbate with them.
  • A man propositions a woman, saying they should take a shower together.
  • In a porn set you see from distance fully nude women or topless women ( a brief full frontal female nudity from distance) and male rear nudity (not frontal like the female frontal) when a man drops his towel in front of a woman.
  • A woman lays half asleep on her stomach in bed, topless and covered by the bedclothes from the waist down. As she drowsily adjusts her position, one of her breasts dangles briefly into view.

Violence & Gore

  • A man has a fight with his son. The son wants to fight his father, but the man, being stronger, forcefully holds him in a hug then pushes him back, as they hurl harsh insults at each other.
  • Victims of a plane crash are shown with some injuries.
  • A man is shown fallen on a floor with a cut on his head.
  • During the plane crash scene, a woman vomits and another woman is flung around and knocked unconscious. A third woman is also knocked unconscious and is killed during the crash, her body is seen in the aftermath of the crash with a significant amount of blood pooled from her head. No other gore.
  • Whip knocks Nicole's landlord to the ground.

Profanity

  • '*ss' is said.
  • 'D*mn' is said.
  • 'H*ll' is said.
  • 51 uses of "fuck", 28 uses of "shit" (6 used as "bullshit"), 6 uses of "hell", 3 uses of "goddamn", 8 uses of "damn", 7 uses of "ass", 2 uses of "bitch", 1 use of "son of a bitch".
  • 'Sh*t' is said at least 20 times.
  • The Lord's name is taken in vain, including several uses of 'God' and 'Jesus'.
  • A crude term for the male anatomy is said.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • It is apparent from the opening scene that Whip has a drinking problem. He is shown drinking throughout the movie and several times is shown to be clearly in a drunken state. In addition to the drinking there are at least 4 scenes where he is shown snorting cocaine, one where he and Harling smoke a cigarette spiked with cocaine, and one where the cocaine is sitting out and it appears he has already had some.
  • A man gives Nicole heroin, telling her it is very strong and not to inject it but snort it instead. He then gives her a small bag of cocaine for when she gets too low to get her back up again. We then see a graphic scene of Nicole shooting up; she makes a tourniquet, then inserts the needle. She moans briefly in pleasure, as her pupils dilate, and she passes out as she reaches for the bag of coke.
  • In the opening scene a woman re-lights what appears to be a marijuana joint.
  • There are several drug deals that occur in the movie.
  • Whip and Nicole smoke cigarettes in a number of scenes, including an extended sequence where they smoke along with a cancer patient. We hear certain prescription drugs mentioned.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is a very emotional moment when Whip tells a flight attendant to say 'I love you' to her son for the black box to record as he believes them certain to die.
  • The scenes of characters highly intoxicated are intense.
  • The plane crash scene is very intense and shown in very vivid, realistic detail. Chaos in the cockpit interior and the passenger cabin are shown. Viewers who have a phobia/fear of flying may find them especially frightening, intense, and hard to watch.
