Sex & Nudity

5/10

Some people wear slightly revealing clothing.

A threesome is weakly implied.

A dead woman's breast is seen for a second or two.

Two people are seen kissing, it's implied they were about to have sex.

Some sexual references including references to rape.

A few, very short flashbacks to a rape, the rape is not actually seen, you just see what the victim could see for a few seconds. Some may find this upsetting despite the rape not being shown.

Violence & Gore

6/10

We briefly see a bloody body and quick images of a bloody (but alive) rape victim.

Eric has quick, brief flashback images of the attack on him and his girlfriend (a bit intense).

Eric breaks a mirror with his fist.

Tin-Tin gets into a fight with Eric where many punches and head butts are thrown. Eventually Tin-Tin hits Eric with a hammer. Some knifes are thrown, but they miss, the scene cuts away as Tin-Tin is about to be stabbed with a knife, so it's not actually seen. We later hear that knifes were stabbed in all his vital organs.

It's implied that a dead woman's eyes are cut out, we later see a fake looking eyeball.

We see a picture of a crow drawn in blood

A brief fight scene between Eric and a shopkeeper, the shop is blown up but both survive.

Some scenes of shooting and fistfights, none of these scenes are particularly violent.

We see Funboy with several syringes in his body. He then dies from it.

Top Dollar stabs a character in the neck and then shoots him.

Eric causes a car to explode with a character inside, and we see his burnt body in a black and white photo.

One scene where Eric kills of many bad guys within a few minuets, there's shooting, stabbing, people being thrown out windows ect

Top Dollar shoots Eric, with moderately bloody consequences.

Lots of gunfire until one character is hit by a bullet.

A crow pecks out a woman's eyes (no where near as bad or violent as it sounds).

Eric gives mentally transfers his painful memories into a character all at once and pushes him off the roof. He is then seen impaled on a spike.

Profanity

6/10

Moderate use of profanity throughout.

Some characters swear frequently where as some do not swear at all.

6/10

Some scenes are set in bars where people can be seen drinking.

A few scenes which feature people smoking.

One character is seen snorting cocaine.

A man and a woman inject heroin into their arms.

A man is murdered by having lots of needles injected into him, we presume they contain drugs.

Some references to drugs (mainly only cigarettes and alcohol though).

5/10

A few scenes in flashbacks may be found upsetting by sensitive viewers.

The Crows appearance may be found scary by very young children, despite him being the good guy.

A few scenes may be found intense.

Overall - 28/50 Contains moderate sex references, moderate violence; some strong and infrequent strong drug use.

Most people aged 13 or over should be fine watching this, However sensitive viewers may be upset by one or two scenes. But to be fair, there's nothing here a mature kid can't handle.
