Sex & Nudity
Mild
There's an apparent sex scene. Thrusting under sheets, no nudity.
A man and woman are seen laying in bed together, covered in sheets but no nudity is seen. They are also seen in the same position in photos.
Violence & Gore
Moderate
A man and woman get into a brawl, which ends in him breaking his finger and getting kicked in the groin.
Someone is shot in the chest (blood leaks down). A dead person is seen slightly covered in blood with a puddle of it on the floor.
Someone drags a bloody dead body puts it into his car. Someone throws up blood (a stream of it briefly comes out).
Someone is shot offscreen, a bleeding stomach wound is later seen.
Profanity
Moderate
8 uses of 'fuck', a few of 'shit', and 1 of 'piece of ass' (not used too crudely).
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Mild
A man smokes cigarettes in a few scenes. Some scenes take place in a bar, showing customers drinking.
A short scene shows many teenagers and young adults drinking alcohol and smoking. A man talks about rolling a marijuana cigarette.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Moderate
The shootings are fairly subdued (though they can occur abruptly). But other scenes of violence, such as the window-hand and burying-alive scene, could be intense.
