violence
Scenes include shootings which result in blood spurting detail. A woman is beaten and strangled to death by two male intruders. There are also killings via drowning, and with the use of a plastic bag, as well as other scenes of violence involving fist fights.
additional issues
Scenes of threat include car chases, explosions and the use of knives. Moderate bad language ('son of a bitch', 'whore') is accompanied by milder terms ('shit', 'crap', 'ass', 'bastard', 'screw', 'bugger', 'freaking', 'Jesus', 'hell', 'God', 'damn'). There are visual and verbal references to sex work, as well as milder scenes involving sexual activity. A man uses homophobic language ('fag') towards a gay man. There are undetailed references to cocaine and the distribution of illegal drugs. Bodies are featured at crime scenes, including human remains inside a concrete barrell.
