After a tragic act of violence, a man reckons with his family's dark past and seeks vengeance in this US thriller.
violence
People are repeatedly stabbed in the torso and neck in an aggressive manner. There are frequent and intense shootout sequences, resulting in close-ups on impacts. There is a brief verbal reference to a child being killed by a family member.
threat and horror
There are scenes of sustained threat throughout as distressed characters are held at gunpoint. A teenager is chased by an attacker wielding a knife. A man is tied up and tortured with a plastic bag, which is repeatedly held over his head.
language
Strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') is used as well as milder terms including 'son of a bitch', 'shit', 'ass', 'freaking', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'God' and 'damn'.
drugs
A person snorts cocaine. There are frequent verbal references to the illegal distribution of cocaine and meth. Characters are directly involved in a narcotics operation and repeatedly handle packages of drugs.
injury detail
There is substantial bloodshed during scenes of strong violence; there is graphic close-up detail of bullet and stab wounds. Bloodied corpses are shown.
additional issues
There are infrequent verbal references to child sexual abuse in the context of police work. Characters make occasional verbal sex references, including a brief reference to incest. A person makes implied transphobic remarks. Occasional upsetting scenes are centred around death and bereavement.
