Sex & Nudity

  • Cut outs of completely nude female bodies with Nick Styles head (Denzel Washington) hangs on a prisoner's cell wall. Camera pans through so pictures briefly seen.
  • As a woman goes into the men's locker room, there's a split second shot of Denzel Washington's genitals as he covers himself with a locker door. Gratuitous male nudity.
  • A woman goes fully nude and thrusts up and down on top of a man. We see her breasts and butt. Yet, somehow, no male nudity is shown.

The next guy gets sliced from the stomach to his shoulder with a bandsaw with lots of blood gushing. A third guy immediatly gets a drill in the neck. Some blood.
