AS GOOD AS DEAD is a US action drama in which a man’s violent past comes back to haunt him after he befriends a troubled teenager.
violence
People are shot, slashed with knives or machetes, or killed using a crossbow, creating spurts of blood. Short flashbacks show a frightened woman being restrained and repeatedly punched by villains, leaving moderate bloody detail on her face. After being doused in petrol during an interrogation, a man deliberately sets himself on fire rather than give up any information; we hear him screaming briefly as he burns, but there is no visual detail. There are moderate scenes of hand-to-hand combat, featuring crunchy blows. There are also brief non-graphic verbal references to domestic abuse.
language
There is use of strong language (‘motherf**ker’, ‘f**k’, ‘pinche’). Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’, ‘pendejo’, ‘bastard’, ‘cabrón’ and ‘balls’. There is also infrequent use of racist terms such as ‘negro’, but discrimination is clearly criticised.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is brief sexual threat and references to child sexual abuse when a gloating villain tells a pair of kidnapped teenagers that he intends to sell them into sexual slavery.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Moderate scenes of threat include a brief sequence in which one man threatens to cut off another’s ear with a machete in order to make him talk. Other issues include infrequent moderate sex references and passing references to drug dealing.
