Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

None.

Violence & Gore

References to the people characters have murdered, including a brief view of the bottom half of one dead body, blood-free.

Profanity

Some crass expressions.

Adult drinking and smoking.

One intense scene in which a character is tied to a chair and another character is psychologically manipulating him by showing him the surgical implements he will use to kill him. Several jump-in-your-seat scenes, including one where a criminal character pushes aside the window curtains from outside a house and frightens two old ladies in the house. Some scuffle (non-sexual and bloodless) scenes.
