  • A woman follows a man into the bathroom. After some back and forth, they have sex. No nudity is shown, but lots of thrusting and the woman is very vocal. Lasts about 30-45 seconds.
  • A woman asks a man if they violated him sexually. He was not and the conversation is dropped almost immediately.

Violence & Gore

  • There are several fight scenes that may make you feel as if you're right there in the middle of it and not fairing too well. There is an aerial view from some distance of a brutal murder.
  • A lot of fighting and punching, many bloody faces and broken noses, nothign too gory. One character is shown dead in his car by gunshot, no too graphic. Many action sequences involving fights and machetes.
  • There is a dead and bloody cat found nailed to a person's door.
  • There's a flashback of a woman being savagely beaten to death by a barrage of dirty cops. Her dead body is shown covered in bruises and blood.

  • A truck rams into another mans vehicle while he's driving. The victim has blood all over his face. He is then brutally beaten up by a gang of dirty cops. It is implied that he was later decapitated. This scene is replayed with more detail. Blood splatters are shown at the crime scene.
  • A character unexpectedly finds their dead spouse in their vehicle. The dead spouse's body is revealed suddenly; bloodied and having obviously been through physical trauma of some kind. The character who finds the body quickly breaks down crying and screaming. There are visual and audio effects that make this scene even more visceral.
  • A brutal brawl takes place in a restaurant. Men are bashed in the head, punched in the face and stabbed with machetes. Several men are rammed with a car. This scene is quite bloody.
  • There's a boxing match where two men go head to head. There is a brief amount of blood. One of the men says something to aggravate the other man and he responds by delivering heavy blows to the mans face.
  • Spenser is slashed across the chest with a machete (doesn't die).
  • There's an intense action sequence at a dog track involving a big trailer truck causing lots of destruction. Some people also get shot with small bloodletting.
