There is a partial full frontal view of a nude woman, once as she is getting into a bath with a man not her husband. (though the full frontal view is obscured by shadows) A man has sex with a married woman up against a wall (no nudity and not very graphic). A couple are seen in bed with the clear implication that they are having an affair. Though no sex is partained in this last scene it is very obvious they are naked.

There are several scenes showing wounded bodies. Seeing the main character's burnt body might be considered disturbing. There is a scene in which one of the characters is restrained and has his thumb cut off by a nurse under orders of German officers, which is also quite intense. Blood is shown. A man uses handcuffs to strangle another man to death. One character asks to be killed by injection; we see the needle being prepared and his dead body.

There are three F-words and one S-word.

In one scene one character is suggested to be drunk, however it's not absolutely clear- it could be a pretence so he can say what he does. There is another drunken party. One character is a morphine addict; we see him preparing injections.

Chopping off the thumb is pretty intense. There are two scenes about defusing explosives; both are quite intense. There is a plane crash sequence that will fill an audience with dread.
