Sex & Nudity

Moderate
211 of 501 found this moderate
Some kissing, brief topless breast nudity, and female characters often wear revealing outfits.
A woman's breasts are seen after getting out of the shower (The Final Cut)

Violence & Gore

Moderate
143 of 259 found this moderate
A man slams a door shut with his fist to prevent a woman from leaving after she resists him kissing her. He pins her against the wall when she tries to walk away from him. She flinches and is visibly distressed.
A man is shot twice in the chest; he flies backwards in the chair he was sitting in. No blood is seen, but in the Workprint version you can see smoke or steam coming out of an exit wound for a few seconds afterwards.
A man is shot through the back of the head and you can see (from the front) his forehead burst open. Surprisingly little blood is visible.
A woman is shot in the chest. As she writhes on the ground, she is shot again until she dies. Bloody bullet wounds are very briefly visible, including one shot where blood pours out of the wound. Much of this scene is shot from a far distance.
A man grabs another man's hand and breaks a couple of his fingers. You can hear the fingers breaking and see the man wince in pain. He later resets his own fingers and you see them bent back at first.
A man has the tip of his ear shot off at close range, with the wound and blood quite visible.

Profanity

Mild
168 of 245 found this mild
Fuck and shit are used alongside lesser profanity.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Mild
158 of 206 found this mild
Alcohol and tobacco use.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Moderate
133 of 218 found this moderate
The scene where an android pokes out a man's eyeballs is very intense and may disturb some viewers. This is arguably the most violent scene in the movie (despite not being extremely graphic).
A character is seen hanging off a building by his fingers.
