Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A man and a woman are kissing very intensely but are interrupted by the woman's ex-boyfriend. Ken, Ray and the Dwarf are doing cocaine lines while there is hookers in the background(clothed, but barely, legs are fully naked).

Dwarf is kissing a prostitute deeply, then Ray interrupts them. Several kissing scenes in the entire movie. No explicit sex or no implied sex seen.

Violence & Gore

A man talks about wiping a gun and throwing it in the canal.

In a flashback, a man shoots a priest several times in the back. One of the bullets is then shown to have travelled through the priest and hit a little boy. The viewer briefly sees a hole in the boy's head.

In a restaurant, a man punches another patron; the patron's wife then swings a bottle at the man, who dodges it and punches her. Both characters are knocked unconscious.

A man shoots a blank into another man's right eye, leaving him blind in that eye.

Two men struggle over a gun, and one of them gets shot in the neck, with a steady stream of blood blasting from the wound. He then walks up some steps and you see very large puddles of blood.

A man jumps off a tower and you see him slam to the ground, where he partially - but messily - explodes. He lands in the background and is partially obscured, but there is still substantial blood splatter. We then see a close-up of the dying man covered in blood and with parts of his stomach and arm on the ground.

A man chases another man, and shoots him in the lower part of his stomach four times.

A guard is beaten badly with the butt of a gun; we see shadows of the assault on a wall. It is not revealed whether the attack killed the man.

A man shoots another man by accident, and the victim's head is seen briefly in the background - it has been reduced to mush.

A man places a gun in his mouth and shoots, causing blood to briefly spray out from behind his head.

Profanity

F *ck - 126 (this equals 3.18 uses a minute!)

C*nt - 23 (Mostly in one scene)

S*it - At least 25

There is a large amount of milder profanities and obscenities as well throughout.

And potentially offensive remarks about disability

Some Racially insensitive remarks from the perspectives of certain characters.

Characters drink frequently and in one scene use cocaine.

Several characters refer to their own drug use and to that of others. One character is a drug dealer; another steals her drug supply and sells it.

A fight starts over one character's smoking in a restaurant.

Multiple drug references throughout the film. Names of drugs used.

There are very intense violent scenes.
