Sex & Nudity

  • Film opens with naked man and female prostitute in bed having sex. Man is on top of woman thrusting. As he finishes, he rolls off her. Nudity shows bare breasts and male full rear nudity.
  • A topless woman is shown coming out the shower being questioned by police. She is in underwear and she covers her breasts with her arms. Cleavage and side breast is shown.
  • Partial nudity can be visualized in a scene in which a woman is bound and gagged in a van, she indicates that she has to urinate. One of her kidnappers takes a knife and cuts off her leggings and underwear, and puts her underwear between her legs to soak the urine. Her bare buttocks are briefly shown. Later, the woman is forced to crawl out of the van, still naked from the waist down. The buttocks are shown.

Violence & Gore

  • Multiple gunshot wounds with a varying degree of damage. Most of the violence occurs during the final 40 minutes.
  • A dead man gets disemboweled. His intestines are shown being removed. Quite graphic.
  • A woman and two men are shot in the head (blood spurts).
  • A criminal shoots a cashier worker and a bystander at a shop. Blood visible.
  • A woman is shot in her hands. A couple of her fingers and part of her other hand are destroyed. She is then shot in the head (we see her head essentially explode as it is shot). It is brief but extremely graphic.
  • A man is threatened with castration. Later, he is quickly seen from afar lying down with his pants down and blood soaking through his boxer briefs underwear strongly implying he was castrated.
  • A man is shot in both of his legs and groin repeatedly. He bleeds profusely from the gunshot wounds and he is later shot fatally in the head.
  • A man is shot in the chest multiple times.
  • A man hits a woman in the head with the blunt handle of a knife.
  • A woman is shot in the head at point blank range. The scene is dark, but part of her head can be seen missing.
  • A man holds a knife near the eye of a blindfolded woman and threatens to remove her eyeball. The tip of the knife causes the woman to bleed from her eye.
  • A man is shot in both feet, causing him to fall over as blood is seen spraying from the holes in his feet. He is shot dead afterward.

  • A getaway driver is seen smoking a cigarette, so the older cop lights one and smokes it while driving.
  • Mel Gibson's character smokes throughout the film

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The final 40 minutes of the film are especially violent and brutal.
