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

Early in the movie, a woman's breasts are very briefly seen while she is in the bath.

During several dream sequences, a woman is clothed in a near-transparent cloth. She is naked underneath, and her breasts can be briefly seen on one or two occasions.

During a later scene, the same woman's real-life counterpart wears a near transparent top. Later in the same scene, part of her butt is seen while she is sitting, naked apart from a ribbon that she has tied around her breasts. A man pulls the ribbon off, but she is facing away from the camera, and nothing is seen.

An out-of-wedlock sexual encounter (mostly implied, nothing explicit).

Violence & Gore

There are several bombing scenes. Also, many scenes showing violent arrests.

A man is shown wearing bloody clothes, implying that he is a torturer.

A woman is executed. (off-screen)

A man is about to torture another man, but gets shot in the head. Blood sprays. He removes his mask and we see the bloody wound.

It is implied that a man was tortured until he became catatonic.

A coffin is opened and a mass of bloody body parts falls out into a pile on the floor.

Profanity

One use of the F word. Several uses of the S word.

There are Cigars/Cigarettes smoked in this movie.

Also some champagne, and other alcoholic drinks.

Scenes of torture (no explicit violence or gore) some may find disturbing.

A gun battle takes place.

A murder by suffocation takes place.

The whole dystopian look of the film is frightening to some.

An intense scene where a group of special forces men storm a family's home and the father is dragged away from his extremely frightened wife and children.

The ending may upset some.
