Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A man is seen kneeling/crouching nude, from behind.

Sex is implied on two accounts. The second time the woman is seen kissing the man's stomach; the man is covered to his waist by blankets and the woman is almost fully covered.

Reference is made to a man's "exceptional piece of equipment."

Woman wear dresses showing cleavage.

Violence & Gore

Lots of shots of blood in vials, bags and needles. Spots of blood on feet, fingers and arms in some scenes. A puddle of blood on a floor, and later we see a very bloody, pulpy head in a puddle of blood (seen twice). A corpse is shown with cuts on its head. A man is beaten with face punches, head butts and kicks. A man incinerates himself (off screen, it is not actually seen). Scuffles.

Profanity

Two F-words, a few scatological references and mild obscenities.

Lots of smoking and some drinking between character's in some scenes, a character vomits from being drunk.

A man nearly drowns on two occasions.

Two people come very close to being hit by cars while crossing a road.
