Sex & Nudity

In a very blurry scene, a man is briefly seen raping a woman

Several references to homosexual contact between men.

Violence & Gore

A man is shot in the stomach. We later see his corpse.

A man is burned in boat explosion and shown covered in bandages.

A man shoots another man in the back with a rifle.

A man is shot in the back while he is examining a truck.

A boat is blown up in several scenes.

A man walks out of a room; We see that he has a knife in the back of his neck, and he dies.

A man is shot in the arm twice.

The lights go out in an elevator and two men are shot in the head with a silenced pistol. When the lights come back on, we see blood and viscera on the glass wall of the elevator behind where they had stood.

In a very blurry scene we see a very young boys throat slit but it is unclear what is happening. A man then shoots his wife and young daughters. Again it is unclear what is happening to the point that there is basically no blood and is more disturbing than actually violent.

Profanity

Several uses of c*** sucker, 98 uses of the f word, also the sh** word is used.

Some characters are shown smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.

Drug dealing is a recurring theme throughout the movie.

Though not frightening, viewers may find the last 10 minutes of the film amazingly intense, seeing as it spits out two twists, one right after the other
