violence
There are scenes of strong violence in which characters are gunned down in the course of rival gang warfare, or shot in cold blood when they are unable to defend themselves. Bullet impacts result in bloodshed, and there is also sight of extensive bloody injury detail in the aftermath of violent events.
language
There is frequent strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), with milder bad language including uses of 'dick', 'ho' and 'bitch'.
sex
There are strong, crude references to female genitalia and various sexual activities, including oral sex which is offered by a woman who is desperate to obtain drugs. There are also brief sex scenes featuring nudity, thrusting and a woman moving on top of a man.
drugs
There is sight of drug deals being made in the street and a drug-addicted woman holding a crack pipe as she moves unsteadily and slurs her words.
additional issues
There are also scenes of threat as members of a gang, who are riding in cars, fire weapons in the air and cause a crowd to scatter. There are also numerous uses of the term 'n****r', which are exchanged between black characters.
