Content Ratings

What's in the title & why it matters

Language Heavy

4/5

Strong profanity includes "fuck," "shit," "cunt," "pussy," and "bastard," alongside milder language such as "bitch" and "ass."

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking Moderate

3/5

cocaine is used frequently and also popping pills.

Violence & Scariness Extreme

5/5

Violence is extreme and graphic. In one extended scene, a character's head is beaten into a bloody pulp with a fire extinguisher. After being raped, a woman is repeatedly kicked, punched, and has her head smashed into the ground, leaving her with massive wounds and torn, dangling skin. A man breaks a bottle over another man's head during a fight. Another man is shoved face-first into the ground and has his arm bent until it breaks. A man is pepper-sprayed in a separate scene.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Extreme

5/5

Sexual content is explicit. Gay porn plays briefly in the background of one scene. A woman is briefly shown performing fellatio, with the man's penis visible. A montage depicts men inserting fingers and penises into their anuses. A man is seen masturbating while watching another man commit a murder. In a separate scene, a woman in a form-fitting dress has visible nipples through the fabric.
