Sex & Nudity

  • The film opens with a woman who was raped being left on the side of a road. Her rape is discussed graphically a few times, with mention that her rapist put a gun in her vagina. Nothing is seen, though, and characters only discuss it.
  • A woman in a bar is seen dancing on a stage next to a pole, but she's wearing a surprisingly conservative outfit for a stripper. A few waitresses are seen in thongs very briefly during this scene.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman is thrown out of a car in the beginning, and left on the side of the road. Her face is very bloody, and she's clearly injured.
  • A man kicks another man's leg, breaking it and exposing bone (bloody and graphic). He slashes another man's face with a credit card (bloody), throws an object at a fourth man's face, and kicks the third man many times before kicking the second man.
  • A woman's face is bruised and cut for all the time that she's seen, and she has large stitches on her face.
  • A woman lifts up the robe of a tied up man and makes comments about his penis (nothing is seen), and then she cuts it with garden shears (offscreen), and threatens to cut it off, but doesn't.
  • Two men practice fighting, and both are hit a few times.

Profanity

  • 3 uses of "fuck", and several uses of "shit", "damn" (some paired with "God"), and a few of "hell" and "asshole". Also 1 use of "faggot".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People drink in a bar.
  • Lots of people drink in a casino. At different times in the film, people are seen drinking in the casino.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There's a foot chase during the climax of the film, and it's pretty intense, with a man being pursued and shot at by a group of gangsters.
  • The final battle inside the factory is long, violent, and intense.
  • A rape victim is left on the side of the road, brutally beaten in the beginning. Her rape is discussed later, and this whole theme could be disturbing.

Spoilers

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

Violence & Gore

  • Several men hold Nick and Cyrus at gunpoint, and Cyrus punches one in the face and shields Nick from the others, who shoot him (bloody and graphic wounds seen). Nick is knocked through a window, and escapes.
  • There's a long final battle inside a factory, with Nick being pursued by a group of men. He pushes a stack of cinder blocks over on one man, impales another with a pole (graphic) which causes him to stumble into a fuse box, electrocuting him. He then douses a man in gasoline and kicks a lamp hanging over them, and the sparks immolate the man. Nick then attacks the three remaining men, brutally beating them up, with one of them accidentally shooting another.
  • There's a fight outside a bar between two men, but it's later revealed that this was staged.
