Sex & Nudity
None
Sex: None
Nudity: None
There is a reference to an affair. Some kissing.
Violence & Gore
Mild
Gore: None
Men punch other men and handle women roughly.
A man has a slow-acting poison slipped in his drink, which causes him to become progressively ill throughout the film.
A character punches an ill man several times in the stomach after observing how painful it is for him.
Characters are verbally threatened, shaken by the shoulders, have guns pulled on them, etc., as one would expect in a film noir.
Two characters are shot to death.
Profanity
None
None
Very little if any.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
Drugs: Recreational non-proscription = None
Characters are seen drinking in a bar. The main character is poisoned by way of his drink.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
One character consistently behaves in a very violent, aggressive, cruel manner, and is described as "psychopathic."
Overall, "D.O.A." will not shock anyone who has seen a film noir before, but the premise is quite dark.
There is a reference to a murder.
