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

None

Violence & Gore

We see the badly beaten and mutilated face and body of a man in a morgue and another man opens his mouth in an effort to identify him. A man is shown hanging from his wrists, presumably nude, while being questioned, and the man quivers and whimpers. A man walking along a street is grabbed by police and taken to a cell where he sits and is slapped in the face. A man is arrested by police and struggles, he's carried out, one officer holding each of his arms, as he thrashes back and forth. Police break into the home of a man, they take the man out and gunfire is exchanged (no bodies or injuries are shown; the scene is chaotic and it is hard to discern what else is going on). A man is carried out of a building by police, screaming "God is great!" repeatedly. There are scenes of people being arrested forcibly. Several men sit in a room watching a tape of a man's execution (they react with disgust) and we are told that the man was beheaded. A woman imagines the torture and murder of her husband (we do not see anything). We see photographs of a man with chains on his wrists, and another with a man holding a gun to the man's head. A television is shown playing news clips depicting inhumane conditions faced by Guantanamo Bay prisoners: several prisoners are shown being handled by guards and a message from kidnappers states that their hostage will be subjected to the same inhumane treatment unless the conditions in Guantanamo change; if they do not, the kidnappers threaten to kill the hostage. There's footage of Middle Eastern warfare, which includes bombs, explosions, missiles being launched and troops in combat. A woman is told that her husband has been killed, she screams for a long period of time and is told that he was beheaded and that there was no question that it was him. We hear that a man's body was cut into 10 pieces. We hear that after trying to escape a man was chained to the motor of a car as a method of torture. Men are told over the phone that a man's body has been found and that it is in the morgue. An official makes a remark that he'd like to "hang them up by their feet and beat them with sticks." A man is warned by several people to be careful when meeting with another man and that as long as he is in a public place he'll be fine. Remarks are made about purifying Islam through violence. There are discussions of deplorable treatment of detainees by Americans. There are discussions of violent acts: The bombing of the Word Trade Center, the 9/11 attacks, etc. We read that several people were sentenced to lengthy jail terms, and one was hanged. A woman screams during labor and childbirth and we see the baby emerging between her legs and covered with blood and goo. A pregnant woman grimaces and complains of pain. A voiceover mentions a religious tradition that involves every family sacrificing an animal and cutting it into three pieces, and a man is shown holding a knife against a goat's neck (we do not see the animal being killed). A man is pushed down into a street, he gets up and is OK. Police search through a woman's home after her husband has not returned from a meeting and she becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the invasion of their privacy. A wife worries about the whereabouts of her husband when he does not return home from a meeting.

Profanity

18 F-words, 5 scatological terms, 1 anatomical term, 1 mild obscenity, several anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim references, name-calling (psychos), 3 religious exclamations.
