SEX/NUDITY 3 - Lots of sexual innuendo (including references to fellatio). A kiss. A drunken man gropes a woman's clothed breasts. A man forces a woman to repay part of her debt in sexual favors: in one scene it's implied they have intercourse (before the scene ends, we see him kiss her neck and unbutton her shirt, revealing a bit of her bra) and in another scene, he kisses her neck and face, licks her forehead, unzips her pants and fondles her bra-clad breasts. We see a few women in cleavage-revealing shirts, a woman wearing a towel and a shirtless man taking a shower.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Three men are shot and killed (we see some blood on their shirts). A man is slapped and another is spat upon. A man is physically thrown out of a bar after he tries to punch someone. A man is thrown to the ground and slapped repeatedly. Some verbal threats and one instance of threatening with a gun.

LANGUAGE 10 - About 46 F-words and lots of anatomical references, scatological references, mild obscenities and insults. A couple of racist remarks and a racial slur.
