Violence & Gore

Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- In a depiction of the 1967 Newark riots, an unarmed, young man is shot and killed by police. A woman (possibly a mother or wife) embraces his body and screams for help, sobbing.
- A man is tortured by having a large drill placed into his mouth and turned on. Gore can clearly be seen. The build up is brief but intense. It is the most violent scene in the movie and amongst the most potentially upsetting.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A man drowns his girlfriend in the ocean after she confesses to sleeping with another man. It's the most prolonged murder in the film, bloodless but potentially upsetting.
- The protagonist is shot in the back of the head and killed at the end of the film, with bloody detail. It's sudden, though not completely unexpected if you've seen The Sopranos.
- The protagonist murders his father by punching him then smashing his head against a steering wheel repeatedly. There is blood all over the steering wheel and we see the gory wound on his head. His body is then set on fire.
