Sex & Nudity

  • A man is forced to pull down his pants and we see his buttocks. One cop smacks them. Borderline sodomy/molestation.

  • There is a scene where the camera focuses instantly on a television which is showing a woman's buttocks in (tanga) underwear while she is dancing.

Violence & Gore

  • We see a character's brother brutally beaten after having been in prison for quite a time - pretty graphic wound depiction
  • We see the dead body of a drug dealer in the beginning during the investigation.
  • Graphic police brutality in the opening scene
  • We see a scene of a guy threatening to put a cigarette in a kid's eye (disturbing).
  • We see that same drug lord destroy the guy's car. Lots of damage.
  • We also see another dead guy's body later on (graphic somewhat, but not very detailed).

Profanity

  • Cinemax content advisory: rated R for violence (V), graphic language (GL) and adult content (AC)
  • 185 uses of "f*ck" many other scatological terms, many milder obscenities, many racial epithets.

  • Some characters drink
