There is female nudity and a brief moment of male nudity.

There is physical violence including water-boarding, strangulation, physical beatings, violent surgery, real-life photographs of beheadings-mutilation-animal corpses, torture, and incredible scenes of psycholgical abuse and brainwashing.

Profanity is used throughout the film.

One character smokes. Drugs are used in the torture sequences.

A woman is tortured and beaten. This is one of the most intense and psychologically violent films ever made. It also has a distinct anti-Bush political message.
