Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
-
- A funny scene (this is mild, completely comical violence, not part of the movie's overall violence) - Ramsi and his partner are developing bomb powder for the eventual bombings. His partner messes up, and Ramsi berates him for not trusting him, for messing up, and for lacking faith in Allah, and slaps him in the head. It's mildly violent but it's comical.
- The movie has moderate levels of violence, given the history being told in this movie. But it's more on and off.
Profanity
-
- Cinemax content advisory: rated R for violence (V), and adult language (AL).
- Ramsi, during the head slapping scene with his partner, calls him an "a--." Some mild adult humor. It's also crude humor as he says, "p--s nitric acid."
- If this movie would have been made in June 1994, the Cinemax content advisory for this movie: rated R for violence, adult language and adult humor.
- Another crude funny scene, John talks about how terrorists get away with a lot, when back home, "the police would be shoving barbed wire up their a--." Crude scene.
- Brief strong language in some scenes (four letter f/s-words, used by characters under pressure or frustration), not frequent or intense.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- The bombing of the World Trade Center is dramatized and can be intense (but not graphic).
- The overall theme and plot can cover a sensitive subject matter.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A prominent rabbi is shot and killed (depicted in dramatization and original news footage). The shooter is then shot down by a law enforcement officer as he escapes.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- One scene shows Ramsi and his crew as they leave an FBI detention/interrogation detention center in Lower Manhattan, right on South Street, next to the FDR. They walk out and it's intimidating, but it comes off as more comical, given that the real masterminds of the attack had a very obnoxious personality. Depending on the person, this can be intense or comic relief.
