Sex & Nudity
-
- The film is based around a black man being charged with the rape of a white girl. This is mentioned and discussed throughout, but euphemistically as "taking advantage."
- Two children are assaulted at night in a wooded area by an alcoholic white man. Implication is this man might have been a serial sexual predator, or least intended to physically assault the children in some manner. He is interrupted and stopped. No sex or nudity.
Violence & Gore
-
- Some sexual violence is described during witness accounts in the courtroom scene, but it is undetailed and fairly mild (only 'punching' and 'hitting' is mentioned) and will not offend.
- A fight is heard in which somebody dies. The fight is heard but not seen.
- A rabid dog is shot, but it is unlikely to upset the viewer since it was shot at a great distance and it's injuries are not visible in the scene.
- A kid at the end of the film is nearly killed.
- There is talk about someone slashing his father's leg.
Profanity
-
- One easy to miss use of "ass"
- Throughout the film (much more near the end) the "N" word is spoken a dozen or more times, this could offend people.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Some cigarette smoking is seen.
- A drunk man is seen approaching a car with two young children in it in an assaulting manner creating great fear in the car and the scene.
- When the car leaves, a man is seen staggering in the driveway with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is one scene where a mob tries to take an accused black man from his jail cell.
