Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this film contains several violent scenes, including several on-screen shootings. None of these deaths are terribly bloody. In this film, no one is on the right side of the law. The good guys are simply better at cheating than the bad guys, and their swindling is justified on the grounds that the man they are cheating has killed their friend. There is quite a bit of gambling, drinking, and smoking as well.

Sexual Content

Brief near-nudity, sex insinuated (very indirect).

Violence

Several shootings (not graphic), a few threats and punches.

Language

Several s-words and a racial slur.

Social Behavior

Not applicable

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Lots of casual smoking and drinking.
