Sex & Nudity

7/10

No nudity in the entire film, except the last 5 minutes.

However, after the transmitter is destroyed on the roof of the building at the very end of the film, there is a quite graphic brief video of a naked woman with breasts clearly visible sitting on top of a naked alien with whom she had just been having sex.

Violence & Gore

7/10

Gun shots throughout the film, some of them bloody.

An extended and brutal fistfight sequence in middle of film. Lasts over five minutes.

Many people killed throughout the entire film, some are quite intense.

Profanity

5/10

about 15 F-words, plus milder language.

1/10

Smoking cigarettes.

5/10

The faces of impostor humans look like gruesome skulls with eyes which may be frightening to some.
