SEX/NUDITY 5 - Pictures of nude bodies are briefly shown to jurors (it is difficult to see what is in the photos). A man tries to watch a woman dress and her bare shoulders are seen; he then nearly rips her robe from her and stares at her exposed chest.

A man makes overtures to another man in a prison restroom and photos of the act are shown briefly.

VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - Many references are made to a man's murderous past. A man hits several people and threatens others. A woman is abducted and thrown around a bit; she and a young boy are threatened. A woman is shown with a bloody face, and she is then shot. Several people are shot and killed with varying amounts of blood. A man is stabbed in the neck with an ice pick (some blood is shown). Gory photos of murder victims are shown.
