Sex & Nudity

None

Violence & Gore

Moderate violence-nothing too strong, but still worth considering before allowing younger children to view.

A man is threatened with guns numerous times.

A man is hit in the face with a large object (not too violent).

A man stabs another man while he is driving and beats him repeatedly.

A man shoots a cop in the chest (moderate blood shown), but is then shot and killed.

A kid points a shotgun at a man and is about to pull the trigger when the man pushes the barrel another direction and another man is hit when the gun goes off. (blood is shown)

A man is kicked in the face and locked in his own basement. (not too violent)

A man is rammed into a dozen times on the road by several vehicles.

A man and his wife are trapped inside a pick-up truck by another man slamming the truck into a guardrail w/ his 18 wheeler.

There is an intense fight at the end of which the antagonist is forced down and falls about 80 or so feet, landing on a big rock.

Profanity

Infrequent coarse language-about 2 or 3 dozen F-words, vulgar words such as "ass", "sh*t", other profanities such as "g***amn" and "sonuvabitch" are used in various instances.

Afew people drink alcohol at a bar.

Scenes near and in the climax and resolution maybe too intense for young viewers.
