The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
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, you 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

7/10



Rated R for pervasive strong language, bloody boxing violence, and some aberrant sexual content.

A man and a woman kiss in bed passionately (as well as grope each other).

It is implied that an underage woman has had sex.

A man pours ice water down his pants.

Graphic sexual dialogue is heard throughout the movie (example: your mother sucks giant elephant d---s)

Violence & Gore

10/10

During a boxing match, a man hits another's nose in slow-motion; we see a large amount of blood (the film is in black and white however, so the blood appears black) squirt out. We later hear than the latter had his "nose punched to the other side of his face."

A man repeatedly beats another man. He then grabs the man and repeatedly closes a car door on his head. There are several bloody and violent boxing matches. A man gets angry at his wife and verbally and physically attacks her. A man ambushes his brother and hits him repeatedly. A man punches and knocks out a woman out of rage.

Bloody, brutal, graphic, disturbing violence is constant throughout. NOT suitable for children.

A man gets hit repeatedly in the face with blood squirting and many cuts, but keeps standing and taking it, very disturbing.

Profanity

10/10



128 uses of the f-word and its derivatives, many used with "mother."

About 3 uses of "cunt."

About 5 uses of "cocksucker."

4/10

Characters drink and smoke.

10/10

Some domestic abuse/violence may be too intense for persons under 16 Rated R for: Adult Language, Violence.(HBO advisory)

Overall Rating: 41/50
