SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.

VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A woman falls backwards as she's trying to get away from a man; though furniture is blocking most of their bodies, we can tell that he climbs on top of her and chokes her (we later see her wearing a neck brace). A man covers a boy's mouth and holds him down on a bed; in a later scene, the man takes the boy to an apartment and ties him to a chair. Twice, a boy chokes while eating; once, he is seriously injured and we see him recovering in a hospital bed. A few times a group of boys chase and taunt two others; in one scene, the two boys are followed by a boy with a knife (no one is harmed) and in another scene, a boy uses a manhole cover to ward off boys who are trying to hit him with baseball bats and chains. While running on a sidewalk, boys shove and knock people down; one boy grabs a woman's purse and puts it down a sewer drain. A man is chased and tackled by police. A boy using crutches is knocked down by a basketball that was purposely rolled into him. A boy's feet get stuck in mud as he's walking into a lake and he's stuck underwater for a few seconds. A boy is nearly hit by a few cars when he runs across a busy street, a boy crashes a car into a barrier and a boy flies off his sled into a snowbank (none of the boys is injured). A boy grabs another and bursts through wallboards to escape the room they're in. A boy sprays a man in the face with what is supposed to be acid (it apparently is not). A boy rips a lock out of a door as he opens it quickly and a woman repeatedly hits a vending machine. A boy gets a tiny bloody cut on his finger when he picks up a shard of glass. A boy gets upset and falls backward in his chair; he pulls a lamp down with him and it shatters. A man is briefly seen loading bullets into a gun. Some yelling, scuffling and shoving. We learn that a boy's father killed his mother and that a boy died.
