threat and horror
There is brief mild threat in a scene in which a policeman drops his gun and the weapon is picked up by a young boy he is pursuing; the panicking boy points the gun and discharges it accidentally, but there are no harmful consequences. A car chase concludes with a heavy collision between two vehicles.
language
There is mild bad language (‘bastard’, ‘screwed’), as well as very mild terms such as ‘damn’ and ‘hell’.
discrimination
A Chinese man demonstrates racist attitudes towards South Asians and uses the racist term ‘paki’. The character is is challenged over his language and comes himself to reflect on his wider discriminatory behaviour. Racism as a whole is clearly condemned within the film which offers positive messages about equality.
drugs
Packets of white powder are seen briefly in a reference to characters dealing in illegal drugs.
injury detail
A man has abrasions on his face after being involved in a collision between two vehicles. Another man shows an old healed scar on his arm.
theme
There are mild upsetting scenes connected to bereavement. There are passing references to abortion. A man with a history of excessive alcohol consumption coughs up blood. Adult characters smoke cigarettes. Children engage in anti-social behaviour, such as petty theft.
