Sex & Nudity

Mild
14 of 39 found this mild
A woman propositions a man as she had just broke up with her boyfriend.
A man feels between another person's legs as the man knows that a gun is kept hidden there.
Lots of women dress in little clothes. Lots of cleavage and women in thongs.
In one scene, a man grabs a woman's breasts and says "My God, they're real."
There are many references to sex (e.g. those kind of women that offers themselves to men for sex).

Violence & Gore

Moderate
13 of 21 found this moderate
A couple of people are seen being executed in electric chairs, with their bodies twitching excessively, though it's only shown for a few seconds.
There were Knife throwing scenes in this movie.
Mildly intense action violence with little blood. Many people are shot, but die in a generally non-gory way. However, in one scene, a man's head is chopped off by another man wielding a giant scissors-like cutter. The head-lopping itself occurs offscreen, although a small amount of blood is shown spraying.

Profanity
