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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A baby boy's genitals are partly uncovered when he is being changed.

A woman's bare breast shown briefly when she is breast-feeding a baby.

Violence & Gore

A gang of four surrounds a man on a crowded subway train, stab him, twist the knife, then take it out. It is graphic, but there is little blood. A man beats another man, we see his bloody face after--he has an eye swollen shut for the rest of the movie. A man shoots another man to save someone's life. We see blood splatter on a man's face from this, then see the dead man's body--with blood. Lots of threatening with guns and knives. A man kicks his dog--we don't see this, but hear the dog yelp, then crawl and whimper outside for a while. A man shoots a woman and steals her car (she survives, little blood). A man cuts his arm with a shard of glass, we see the blood trickle.

Profanity

In the subtitles: The F-word is used twenty-nine times. The S-word is used seven times. There are a few religious exclamations.

Some casual smoking and drinking.

There are many, many tense scenes where there is threatening with guns and knives.
