Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this mediocre action movie is full of frenetic violence, quick-cut nudity and sexual material, strong language (including lots of uses of "f--k"), and plenty of gore (shootings, stabbings, and more). There's also a general feeling that, just as in their prior Crank and Crank: High Voltage, the filmmakers seem to get great pleasure from trying to offend audiences with this kind of nonstop sexual material, nudity, and violence.

Sexual Content

Naked breasts and buttocks, crude situations, implied masturbation. Sexualized nicknames (for example, "Rick Rape") are used to identify online personas.

Violence

Constant brutal violence, including shootings, stabbings, beatings, and more. Body parts and heads are obliterated by shells and explosions, with the camera lingering on the effects. Bloody wounds drip; other gore is visible. A knife is held to a child's throat.

Language

Constant strong language, including many uses of "f--k," "c--t," "s--t," "ass," "p---y," "c--k," "hell," "damn," "goddamn," :oh my God," and much more.

Social Behavior

Even though the movie asks its audience to think about the nature of violent entertainment, it's presenting violence as entertainment. Several characters have moral awakenings, but the overall message is negative.

Consumerism

Some real-world brands mentioned or visible, including Mountain Dew.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some smoking; characters also drink lots of alcohol.
