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

None overall, but there is a very very brief scene (as in a couple seconds tops) on the beach where it shows a women's back and she is topless and it BARELY shows the side of her breast (the camera is pointed at her back from a distance) as she's jumping around for a fraction of a second but you cant really see anything when watching the movie unless your really looking.

a scene where a man and a women are in bed about to have sex but it's brief (probably a few seconds or so) and does not show anything (they are both still clothed)

Probable Scale Rating: 2.5/10

Violence & Gore

a few violent scenes and during those scenes it shows alot of blood spray after they where shot with a gun.

The grand finale has a few very bloody (but the blood/gore is very brief) scenes.

Probable Rating: 5/10

Profanity

Strong: 28 F-words, 16 S-words (a lot with bull), 9 H-lls, 3 uses of G-dd-mn, 11 A-words (practically all with the suffix hole), 3 Son of a b*tch, 4 uses of J*s**s Chr*$t, 2 of Chr*ss@k*s, 3 uses of c*cks*ck*r, 1 use of N*gg*r, 2 uses of chink, and 1 use of c-nt.

Other milder insults: jag off, prick (2), goof, yo-yo, putz

Probable scale rating: 7/10

Some occasional drinking/smoking.

Probable Scale Rating: 3/10

There are a couple of scenes where mafia guys beat a guy up. They go on for some time. In two of them the guy is punched several times, the other a guy goes on a tirade of threats of what he'll do.

In another scene, a guy describes a very violent frightening (no doubt homosexual) story about prison. His story is about 5 minutes long.

Probable Scale Rating: 4/10

Rated R for: Adult Content, Adult Language, Graphic Violence.(HBO advisory)
