violence

There are bloody stabbings and slashings with blades, as well as occasional bloody shootings. A man gouges people's eyes out with jabs to their face; there is no visual detail but we see the bloody aftermath. There is hand to hand fighting with punches, kicks and throws. A man slaps the woman he is in bed with when she refuses to tell him information and women are slapped by men on several occasions.

sex

A couple have passionate sex, with close-up view of their upper bodies as they kiss and caress in bed; there is moaning and sight of breast nudity. A female sex worker grabs a man's hand and briefly pushes it between her legs; detail is hidden from view, but he removes his hand and wipes it on cloth. There is background sight of what appears to be a centrefold-style image of a bare breasted woman on a wall. Bare breasted women kiss and massage a man lying on a bed.

sexual violence and sexual threat

A gang of criminals hold a woman down while their boss rapes her; there is no sight of nudity and the attack itself is not detailed. The build-up to the attack involves a prolonged sequence of sexual threat as the woman is chased, struck and trapped by the gang; she defiantly fights back throughout. A female sex worker is roughly pushed onto a bed when she refuses to carry out a customer's demands, saying they are 'weird' and 'too extreme'; she escapes the man.

injury detail

Blood spills plentifully from an unseen eye injury to a woman's face after she is struck. A man strikes a dog in the head, resulting in a large splash of blood and gory sight of the animal's head; its injuries are clearly not real. There are bloody images in the aftermath of violence, including over faces, clothing and dead bodies.

nudity

There is sexualised female breast nudity.

A man sniffs and then smokes a marijuana joint after complaining he has run out of 'pot'. There is moderate bad language ('slut') along with milder terms such as 'God' and 'damn'. There is knife and gun threat and characters are sometimes surrounded by gangs of attackers.
