Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie contains nonstop violence and frequent deaths, including the murders of main characters. In this 130-minute long film, there are only a handful of scenes where the characters are safe from peril and the audience can relax with them. There are explicit references to sexual intercourse and a non-explicit but deeply disturbing rape scene that should not be viewed by children.

Sexual Content

Explicit sexual references, sexual situations including rape and adultery, scenes of couple in bed together.

Violence

Brutal violence, casual beatings, spousal abuse, frequent peril, and uncountable deaths.

Language

Strong language, homophobic slurs.

Social Behavior

Beyond family and close friends, there is little tolerance and most arguments are settled with shootings.

Consumerism

Not applicable.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Frequent explicit scenes of drug use, drug dealing, and addiction.
