SEX/NUDITY 4 - Sexual innuendo and a few kisses. We briefly see a couple kissing passionately. A man and woman kiss passionately and unbutton each other's shirts (his bare chest and her bra are visible); we then see him thrusting on top of her (both are still clothed, but we see most of her bare legs). After a man gets out of the shower, we see his bare backside, then see him holding a towel in front of his groin.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A man punches another; first we see a bloody cut under his eye, then see him with an extremely bruised eye. A man is thrown into a bathroom and his head is shoved into a toilet. A scuffle and a fistfight. A few men are slapped; one man is slapped repeatedly. Police drag several men out of a house, push them against a car hood and put them in handcuffs. During a couple of arguments, a man grabs a woman's arms and raises his fist to her. We briefly hear a man and woman screaming at each other. One scene of threatening with guns and a few verbal threats. We see a man who apparently had a heart attack recovering in the hospital.
