Sex & Nudity
Mild
No nudity to speak of.
A lot of implication, including references to prostitution, rape, and incest.
Violence & Gore
Mild
A man is tossed down the stairs in the beginning of the movie. This is seen far away, nothing explicit is shown.
There is talk of a man being beaten to a pulp. Nothing shown.
One of the characters is beaten and slapped around by another character. The scene is intense, though there is little to no blood.
One of the characters is arrested and pinned to the ground. Nothing explicit is shown.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
Smoking and drinking are seen constantly throughout, as typical of movies of this style and from this time period.
There are scenes where marijuana is seen and planted on one of the characters, though it is not used.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
One of the characters attempts suicide, the scene may be intense for some viewers.
The film is excessively dark, dealing with very dark themes and where both characters are essentially villains.
