Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film contains plenty of graphic action violence, usually in the form on bloody, on-screen shootings. The deaths are quick, so there's not much suffering. The body count is not as high as some other action blockbusters (such as The Terminator), but is fairly constant throughout the duration of the picture. There is also lots of strong language.

Sexual Content

Cartoon image of female nudity, sexual suggestion.

Violence

Many graphic on-screen shootings, brutal beatings. Stabbing, impaling.

Language

Lots of swearing.

Social Behavior

Might makes right. Killing for revenge is acceptable. Trust personality over appearance.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some smoking and drug use.
