Sex & Nudity

  • A female character is often shown scantily clad. Her backside and breasts are shown during two sex scenes.
  • A woman's breasts are visible when she identified in a morgue, but the context is not sexual at all.

Violence & Gore

  • A man drags a blood-soaked corpse to his car and puts it in the trunk. He is shown covered in blood as well.

  • A man attempts suicide by removing his life support systems in a hospital. Later the same man intentionally cuts himself using glass from a window, and severely injures another character with the same glass.
