Sex & Nudity

  • In a very brief shot preceding passionate sexual intercourse between a teenage man and a teenage woman, there is shadowy partial male frontal nudity in vaguely silhouette contrast with the background, as shown from his side. The otherwise naked man's underpants are pulled down below his waist enough to obscure the tip of his flaccid member, as he is making out with the woman. In the same arrangement, there is also a brief shot of him from behind, so his buttocks is visible. The woman's breasts are covered by a brassiere. Beyond this, there is no more sex or nudity in the movie.

Violence & Gore

  • A man armed with a pistol shoots a dog to death. Another man then uses his foot to push and roll the dog's dead body into a watery canal. In the day afterward, the body is shown still floating in the canal.
  • The bloodied and dead body of a man who had sustained gunshot wounds to the chest is shown being discovered. Blood spatter is also visible on the wall behind the body.
  • Stealthily a man armed with a pistol attempts to shoot another man to death, and uses a pillow with the intention of muffling the sound of the shots. Commotion ensues, and the pistol is discharged, but nobody winds up injured.
  • Capitalizing on the element of surprise, a team of shouting SWAT officers armed with high-capacity carbines and sub-machine guns raid an apartment and momentarily seize every person in it, including a woman and a child, but only a man winds up arrested with minimal struggle. No shots are fired and nobody is injured.
  • Two very young men wield baseball bats to meanly bust out the windows and lights of an automobile, also denting the chassis.
  • One of the characters is a man who has a large, gruesome, old laceration scar on the left side of his neck, which is clearly visible only a few times.
  • A teenage man and a little boy playfully wrestle with each other, the man pinning down the boy, yet the man also complains about the boy being in possession of one of the man's belongings. Not particularly violent.
  • A little boy armed with a pistol reflexively aims at and shoots a sprinting other little boy, the bullet striking him in the shoulder and leaving him squirming on the ground. The injured boy is shortly abandoned, but later he is shown laying in a hospital bed, almost fully recovered, and his stitched-up healing gunshot wound can be briefly seen up close.
  • When a teenage man is suddenly approached by multiple young men who had been hiding in wait for him, one of those other men aims a pistol at him and fires it multiple times. The bullets strike him in the chest, and he collapses onto the pavement, upon which blood can be seen. His dead body is shown in the morgue.

Profanity

  • A little over one hundred times, "fuck" is uttered. Many times, "nigger" is uttered. There is one use of the word "cunt" and other words like "twat" and "prick".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Early on, a man can be seen lighting a cigarette and smoking it.
  • A little boy smokes a blunt or custom cigar containing a substance he refers to as "punk". Beyond this and the theme of drug dealing, there is no further reference to any hard drug, let alone use thereof depicted, in the whole movie.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The depiction of the SWAT raid is fashioned in such a way as for the sudden start of it to make a for something of a mild jump scare.
  • Every violent scene is somewhat intense if not frightening. The main theme of the movie is that of needless discharge of firearm and all the hard feelings or violence that escalates from the damage done (especially lives lost). This is in addition to reckless storing of a loaded firearms in households with children who don't completely understand the consequences of discharging them. Furthermore, an unloaded pistol is disposed of by a child tossing it into a canal or river, which may be far from the most appropriate way to be rid of a non-deactivated weapon of the lethal variety.
