violence
Scenes of strong violence occur throughout, including bare knuckle fights in which opponents are forced to fight to the death. These include crunchy blows, chokeholds, and neck and arm breaks, with accompanying large blood spurts. In one sequence, a fighter repeatedly punches another, causing blood to splatter. However, no impact detail is shown.
threat and horror
Strong scenes of threat include a pair of villainous characters abducting a child from his home. Other moments include a brief, but intense scene in which a scared child is held at gunpoint, however, they are swiftly and reassuringly rescued.
language
Strong language occurs ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), as well as moderate bad language ('pussy', 'bitch' and 'slut’) and milder terms including 'piss', 'dick', 'son of a bitch', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'Jesus Christ', 'damn' and 'hell'. Use of racial language (‘n***a’) occurs during a song.
suicide and self-harm
There is close up sight of a man’s body in the aftermath of an apparent suicide, however, it is swiftly established that this is a murder staged to look like suicide.
injury detail
Brief, close-up photographs taken at crime scenes feature strong bloody aftermath detail. There is occasional blood splatter across walls and floors. Blood is seen pooling out of a person's mouth in the aftermath of violence.
additional issues
Infrequent drug references to cocaine and ‘junkies’ occur. Moderate sex references occur. In one sequence, a couple passionately kiss on a sofa and begin to undress. There is a scene of brief sexual harassment in which an unsympathetic character slaps a woman's bottom. The behaviour is negatively presented and results in clear negative consequences for the perpetrator and his friends.
