Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that one character, a convicted rapist, threatens to rape a female guard and later attempts it. The film implies that a mass murderer killed a little girl (later, we find out he didn't). Characters graphically describe murders and rapes they have committed; many kill again, on screen and gruesomely.

Sexual Content

Not applicable

Violence

An inmate threatens then attempts to rape a female guard; several people are shot to death; an arm is severed from a body; a body is thrown from the plane.

Language

The "n" word is used several times; crude terms for a woman's vagina are used to belittle men; general swearing.

Social Behavior

The plane is full of antisocial and sociopathic criminals who act in accordance; one stereotypically gay inmate; a lot of disrespect for authority.

Consumerism

The end is an ad for Las Vegas.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some smoking and drinking, but not by the main character.
