Sex & Nudity

This movie has female nudity in several scenes where breasts are shown.

Furthermore, parts of the movie take place in a strip joint (suggestive nude dancing) and brothel (men in undies getting whipped, completely naked women in stockings which reveals pubic hair).

In the strip club women wear nipple pasties and thongs.

A part of a porn film is shown wear 2 women dressed as nurses remove their shirts and rub their breasts in a man's face.

In the beginning of the film, a face is in the water with a woman in revealing bikini, and a topless woman. They then proceed to have sex in an apartment were the man squeezes the womans breasts. There are black and white pictures of this shown throughout the film.

Violence & Gore

A man in a car is grabbed by another man who's in the backseat; the man puts a chord around his throat and another man puts a plastic bag over his face, the man struggles to get away, the scene ends and we understand that the man has been killed. A woman is shoved into an open grave and then slashed by a man with a machete (we hear the slash and the scene ends). A man is grabbed from behind and stabbed in the neck (we hear a crunch and he falls to the floor dead). A man shoots a man in the head: we hear the gunshot and another man screams, "He shot him, he's dead." A man demonstrates a sandblaster by pointing it at a wall and causing the paint to peel off; he then holds it to a man's ankle, we see blood coming through his sock , the man screams, and we see the man moaning on the floor later with blood on his foot and pant leg. A man punches a man hard in the stomach, trips him, then kicks him repeatedly while he lies on the ground, and he then punches another man in the face; he is shot at by yet another man, but he throws a brick striking him in the head and then head butts him repeatedly. We see a man's very bloody face after he has been beaten. We see a dead body covered with dirt and lying in a hole in the ground. A man twists a man's arm behind his back and pushes him, forcing him to walk. A wife confronts her husband, punches him on the chest and slaps him in the face. We see a man bare-chested and being whipped by a woman dressed in leather. We hear that a man was hanged in Trinidad for murder. A man spears a fish.

Profanity

48 F-words,2 uses of c**t ,14 sexual references, 20 scatological terms (2 mild), 13 anatomical terms, 12 mild obscenities, name-calling (pinko, delinquents, stupid, vicious pimp, bugger, scallywag, slumlord), 13 religious exclamations.

People are shown drinking alcohol in several club and pub scenes, people are shown drinking alcohol at a strip club and several appear to be drunk, several people drink champagne from bottles, a man drinks a beer in a pub, and people drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes at a dinner. A woman smokes a cigarette in a club scene and a man smokes a cigar. Packets of drugs are discovered in a woman's suitcase at an airport. A man takes prescription pain medication for a kidney stone.

The torture scene and a few scenes after the robbery are a bit intense.
