Moderate
35 of 48 found this moderate
Brutal violence.
There is violence, especially towards the end. Blood is visible in a few scenes
There are a few slaps to the face, viciously. Weapons such as broken glass are used, and an iron in one case used to hit someone in the head, leading to blood splattering.

4-5 uses of f--k.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

None
28 of 44 found this to have none
Bottle of champagne, unopened.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
19 of 42 found this moderate
This is a Thriller and a Mystery film, and contains no horror at all. There are scenes in which you are on the edge of your seat, thinking of all the possibilities which may occur making you feel slightly nervous, but not scared! Its intense in some parts of the film, certainly towards the ending!
