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 new 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

No sex, no nudity

Violence & Gore

Strong violence including several shootings. Gore isn't that common but there are a few strong images in the picture, including a dog eating a corpse.

Profanity

Several uses of strong language, including "fuck".

Three major characters (C. Thomas Howell, Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh) are shown smoking at least once.

No alcohol, no drugs.

Many intense sequences as the character of John Ryder is a dangerous and scary one. Sustained threat is maintained all the way to the end.
