Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film glorifies violence, drug use, and sexual themes. Gunplay, robbery, swearing, drug use, drug dealing, lying, cheating, violence, male rape, sadomasochism, and driving under the influence. A character is shot in the face and it's played for jokes. In one extremely graphic scene (one that supposedly incited seizures in some epileptic audience members), a character plunges a syringe into a woman's chest to save her from experiencing a heroin overdose. The director seems to mock product placement by featuring original brands created for the film.

Sexual Content

Includes characters discussing oral sex, plus depictions of sadomasochism.

Violence

Rape, drug overdose, car accidents, shootings, killings, vast amounts of blood, and so much more.

Language

Holds the record for most use of the "F" words in any film (271 times). Plenty of racial slurs, too.

Social Behavior

The film's extreme violence and drug use without legal consequences supercedes any of its socially redeemable qualities.

Consumerism

References to Burger King. Mock brand fast food products.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Heroin use plays a major role in the film. A character smokes pot using a bong.
