SHADOW OF DOUBT is a US crime thriller in which a defence attorney takes on the case of a man accused of a brutal murder.

violence
A woman is stabbed repeatedly and her throat is slashed with a knife, causing blood to spread throughout the hot tub she is in. Punches and crunchy blows are traded between individuals in anger. A female character talks about a previous relationship in which she was beaten and threatened at knife point by her partner.
language
There is use of strong language ('f**k') as well as use of milder terms including 'bitch', 'shit' and 'crap'.
sex
Scenes of strong sex feature thrusting and sexual moaning, and there are visual allusions to rough sex and light bondage. There is moderate innuendo, including a man's use of word play suggesting a woman's orgasm.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A woman is pursued and cornered by a man who proceeds to rip her clothing, suggesting his sexually violent intentions toward her. The woman is stalked and harassed by the man in scenes of sexual threat throughout the film. There are references to a man's previous crimes, which include rape. A woman recalls being threatened by her partner who demanded that she sleep with him.
suicide and self-harm
A woman is revealed to have attempted to take her own life, and there is sight of the bloody aftermath of her attempt to do so.
nudity
There are instances of sexualised nudity, including sight of breast nudity, male and female buttock nudity, and a fleeting glimpse of a man's pubic hair.
additional issues
Misogynistic lyrics appear in songs heard throughout the film, and there is infrequent use of racist language ('spic'), however the film as a whole clearly satirises and condemns discriminative attitudes. There are references to people taking and selling drugs including cocaine, but drug misuse is not seen. Crime scene detail is visible in the aftermath of a murder, including images of dead bodies with blood on and around them.
