The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
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

When Keanu is helping a victim in one scene, a woman's buttocks are exposed.

There's some caressing (a couple on top of each other hug and kiss)

A brief reference to masturbation.

Violence & Gore

A man gets a knife through his head, you see blood spurt

A person is shot in the leg

A train driver gets riddled with bullets, you see bloody bullet holes

A bus explodes with the driver in it in the beginning of the movie.

A bus driver is shot in the shoulder, you see blood from his injury throughout the film

Several people have cuts and bruises

Midway, the floor beneath a bus passenger's feet gives way and she is pulled and run over by the bus.

At the end of the film, a man on top of a subway car has his head knocked off by an oncoming sign.

Profanity

14 "f" words (although 3 might be drowned out)

40 uses of "sh*t"

Over 15 uses of "a**" and "a**hole"

At a gala held for the two police officers, attendees formally drink champagne. Both of the officers clearly get drunk at the end of the party.

A guy opens and drinks a bottle which seems to foam a lot, but its probably just soda.

An elevator (without passengers) is stripped of its cables and crashes down onto the floor. The scene in which police officers rescue the elevator passengers from the car may be considered "intense."

The elevator scene is followed by a hostage sequence, where one of the SWAT officers is held captive by a suicide bomber. Keanu shoots him in the leg to get the bomber to let go. The bomber then runs through the door, and it is implied that he commits suicide, but later it is seen that he did not. This may be considered "intense".

A variety of high-speed chases (both by car and by train) appear throughout the film.

Midway through the movie, a cargo plane explodes in an airport.

Amazingly, only a few people are seen killed in this film; while others no matter how close they come to death survive. But these scenes are pretty intense and might disturb certain viewers who are prone to motion sickness and/or claustrophobia.
