Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

Rated R for strong violence, some sexuality and language.

A woman holding a sheet in front of her turns around and runs out of the room leaving her bare buttocks exposed. The man she is with has handcuffs dangling from his ankle.

Violence & Gore

A few bloody shootings and fights take place throughout the film. Several bare mentioning.

A character is shot twice in the chest with a shotgun. (Blood sprays and is shown covering his body.)

A man is shot in the face (We see blood briefly splatter from his head).

A fleeing man is shot in the back. (A bloody gunshot wound is shown.) falls down a set of stairs and presumably dies.

A woman is gunned down by a sniper with some blood spray; later, we see her body lying in a pool of blood.

A man is shot several times from a distance; we later see his blood-covered body.

There are two other bloody shootings along with a head injury from broken glass.

A man slashes at another man's arm with a knife and injures him.

A man is kicked and beaten by a pair of cops briefly. (We see his bloodied face later.)

An accident scene shows three bloody corpses.

Profanity

The F-word is used about nine times; the S-word is used about twelve times; the N-word is used once. The film includes prominent use of other profanities such as "son of a b-tch" and "g-d***." Other racial slurs are also used occassionally.

The plot of the film revolves around a police takedown of a drug ring; drugs are discussed by cops and criminals for much of the film. They also appear onscreen in the form of heroin, marijuana and pills, but none is ever shown actually being in use. Characters drink and smoke occassionally.

Some very intense chase scenes (by foot and car) as well as very tense shootouts and confrontations take place throughout the film.
