Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A not-too-graphic scene of "double oral sex" ("69"); the couple is seen moving into position, with a brief moment of movement. There is no nudity, and the scene cuts away after a moment.

A man grabs his wife, and tries to force her to have sex. She, however, has consensual sex with him seconds later (seemingly turned-on by the violence). The scene features brief nudity, as well as thrusting.

A women walks down a hallway with an open bathrobe, and we see full frontal nudity for a brief second.

Violence & Gore

the main theme of the movie is a local diner owner becomes a hero after he kills two robbers. This draws unwanted attention from other mobsters around his area.

The opening scene of the movie has a little girl that is killed offscreen.

Several scenes of graphic violence including a man getting hit in the face with a coffee pot, and it graphically disfigures his face.

We are told several times throughout the movie how a man tore out another mans eye with barbed wire.

Lots of graphic shooting scenes with lots of blood.

A man gets hit in the nose many times until his nose is inside his head.

Profanity

Several f-words, as well as some more minor language (e.g., bitch, ass, damn). Also, some sexual references.

A boy and a girl share a joint.

Two other boys in the same scene share a bottle of alcohol.

The killings in the movie are quite graphic, and very disturbing.
