Sex & Nudity

  • Brief partial nudity of a man's lower body covered partially by a small towel as he jumps out of a window after bathing. Backside visible.
  • Mention of an interaction at a strip club and a photo taken there with one of the strippers. The image isn't really revealed.

Violence & Gore

  • Brief but extremely brutal and graphic spurts of violence.
  • A man's neck is cut open during an attack, blood spurts.
  • Following a scuffle between two men, a knife is graphically buried in a man's head and pulled out with significant blood spray and pooling.
  • A man is hit by a car and knocked unconscious.
  • Crossbow arrow shot through the leg (we see the fletching sticking out of his thigh) with blood around the wound. Further gore and depictions of suffering (drooling, sobs, etc) as the arrow is braced with a car door and then cut. Graphic stabbing at wound in an effort to remove the full arrow shaft.
  • A man is shown vomiting repeatedly, presumably as a result of acute stress and recent violent trauma.
  • Body bag dragged to grave.

Profanity

  • A dozen uses of f**k, 1 racial epithet, a few uses of b*itch, ass, hell etc.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A character is quite suddenly stabbed in the neck by a man with a small knife. The two of them fight while blood is spraying from the man's neck before the knife is stabbed into the side of his head; blood is shown spurting and his eyes twitch when the blade is pulled out of his skull.
  • A character holds another at gunpoint when a gunshot is suddenly heard. After the gunman turns around, he is very suddenly shot at long range in the face with the bullet exiting from the other side of his jaw; his neck is shown being twisted by the force of the bullet striking him and blood spurts out, his dead body with a large portion of his face missing is later shown.
  • A man is shot in the side, this is out of focus but some blood is seen splattering. Very sudden and jarring. He is then shot in the head with the same rifle, and while the death is once again out of focus, some blood spray is shown.
  • A man holds two women at gunpoint as one of them grabs an automatic machine gun while the other runs in front of him; one woman is accidentally shot in the head by the other, not graphic but blood is briefly seen splattering onto the wall before more gunshots are heard. It is implied that the second woman was shot off-screen while the man is shown coughing blood from a gunshot wound before dying.
