A man admits to having a child out of wedlock. He mentions that he "hooked up with a cheerleader" in college.

A man says his father had six children with three different women.

Married couples flirt. In one scene in particular, it is suggested that they are going to go upstairs soon and have sex.

A gang initiation that sounds violent, but is heavily obscured and only the group is shown. The teen who was beaten has a black eye and one cut.

A man clings to the side of a car and rolls off as the car crashes.

A long foot chase and a man is tackled.

Children run to a building to peer in a window to see something. Inside the building, a teenage boy is being beaten by a group of about ten big men. At the end of the beating, when a gang leader orders the group to stop, it is revealed that this is an initiation for the victim, he is now in the gang, and is "family". But he also threatens that the beating would be "nothing" compared what the boy would get if he ever turned on the gang or tried to leave. The scene ends, with confusing, and perhaps disorienting, intent, with the gang giving the boy a group hug. The victim has trouble standing and has blood, cuts, and bruises on his face. A face bruise persists for a fraction of the film.

Several characters are gang members and drug dealers.

A police officer is caught stealing drugs that were confiscated as evidence.

Drugs are briefly shown being carried in plastic bags.

The plot involves a lot of drug dealing, but there are no onscreen or implied scenes of drug use or intoxicated characters.

A husband and wife find out that their child has died in a car wreck (off screen) and are heavily grieving and weeping in two scenes.

The shootouts and near-death sequences can be very intense. Guns are fired numerous times, and there are multiple police chases. Men are tackled to the ground, and there's a lot of punching and kicking. Nobody is ever seriously injured, though.

When stopped in his car by some police officers, a man holds a shotgun in his hand and attempts to shoot an officers when he walks to the car door. The man is stopped by a passenger just in time, but the whole scene is very intense.
