Sex & Nudity

A few quick kisses on the lips.

Malone mentions whores a few times.

Violence & Gore

There are various police raids with guns. A little girl and various others are killed by a bomb. A man places a gun to the back of another's head. A character threatens a man with a gun, before being shot multiple times (We see a large amount of blood; gore is later seen in his apartment and he leaves a massive trail of blood as he crawls for help). A man hits another man with the butt of a shotgun several times. A shootout occurs, where one character is injured (non-fatal), and where various men are killed (we see blood spray). A man charges at another men and knocks him out by beating him with his gun.

A man shoots and injures a policeman.

A man grabs another man and throws him off the side of a building. The victim smashes through the roof of a car (we see him from a distance and later see a graphic shot of his smashed-open head with blood and brain matter coming out).

A man shoots another man. A man grabs the corpse of a dead man and sticks a gun in his mouth before firing (we see a large amount of blood spurt). Two men are both shot a point-blank range, and their blood is used to spell a message on a wall. A man is threatened by multiple guns. Multiple character deaths. A man punches his lawyer in rage.

A slow-motion shootout is shown where a toddler is threatened, and various characters are shot with a significant amount of blood spraying. A man holds another hostage, before being shot (his brains spray on the wall behind him and a large amount of blood comes out of his mouth).

Al Capone brandishes a baseball bat before attacking another man's head with it; the first blow is shown, however the other blows are partially off-screen, though we do see a large amount of blood spray nonetheless. We then see a top down view of the man crumpled over a table with blood pooling out from his smashed head.

A man and another man fight for an extended period of time, and one is struck in the groin, then threatened with a gun. The bloody corpse of a police man is shown. Throughout the film, various characters brandish firearms.

Profanity

Standard R-rated profanity is used heavily throughout the movie.

12 uses of the f-word and it's derivatives (although 2 or 3 are slightly hard to hear) and similar amounts of milder language like shit, son of a bitch, bastard, damn, and hell.

Malone uses racial slurs a lot.

Characters drink wine in multiple scenes, and many characters smoke cigars.

A man's family is threatened in various scenes. A toddler is threatened in a slow-motion shootout.

Suspenseful/tense musical score throughout.
