violence
One person kills another by repeatedly slamming their head against the edge of a table, resulting in gruesome aftermath images. A man presses his finger into a bullet wound on another person’s leg. Further strong violence includes bloody shootings and crunchy, impactful blows. There are also scenes involving domestic abuse. In one, a woman with a severely bruised and swollen face lies unconscious in hospital after being beaten off-screen by her husband. In another, a person hits their partner, bloodying their mouth, while high and hallucinating from steroid misuse.
threat and horror
There are scenes of gun threat and aggressive behaviour. A person experiences disturbing drug-induced hallucinations featuring grisly injury detail and moderate horror imagery.
language
There is infrequent use of very strong language (‘c**t’), in addition to frequent strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘bitch’, ‘asshole’, ‘bullshit’ and ‘shit’.
sex
Strong sex scenes include sequences of intercourse, oral sex, fingering and masturbation. The sex is often accompanied by strong verbal sex references or breast nudity. In one scene a woman has sex with a man in exchange for a job opportunity.
discrimination
Brief scenes of homophobic behaviour include a use of the term ‘dyke’. The film clearly condemns discrimination.
drugs
A person is repeatedly shown injecting steroids, sometimes in close up. The drug is shown to have an increasingly dangerous effect on the character’s mental health, causing disturbing hallucinations and violent outbursts.
injury detail
Gory injury detail includes images of a bloody corpse with a severely damaged jaw in the aftermath of strong violence. These images reoccur later in brief flashbacks.
