| nudity |
6/10
- Some extremely graphic sexual dialogue in a scene where a group of men discuss things they are currently reading in a pornographic magazine.
- A sex scene is sort of repeated throughout the film. There is no real nudity, but it's considerably graphic. Also, it's sadistic, because a woman is being forced to have sex with a mentally retarded man.
- We see a girl vigorously fondling a man's penis so that he gets a erection. The penis itself is not visible, though her hand and its motion are.
- A man tries to convince a mentally retarded man to perform oral sex on another man. However, nothing occurs.
- A girl is shown riding a man and her bare buttocks are visible as she sits atop him. A bit of her clothed breasts (shae leaves her bra on) are seen from the side and back, but they are not completely visible. A group of men walk in the room and cheer the retarded man on. This is a very sad and a very hard scene to watch.
- A man is shown sitting on the toilet, but the bottom of his shirt is covering his genitals. |
| violence |
7/10
- There is not a lot of onscreen violence, but the film still contains lots of brutal violence that is extremely shocking and sobering.
- There are a lot of instances of men abusing women.
- It is implied that a man beats another man's head in with a hammer. We do not see the act, but we see the man's head later which is extremely bloody and some skull fragments are seen. The words "one down" are spelled on the wall near the dead body in blood. Very graphic and brief; fairly disturbing.
- A man verbally abused a retarded young man then punches his in the face, knocking him unconscious briefly.
- A man wraps his arms around a woman's neck and yells at her.
- Another woman is grabbed by the hair and is forced to have sex with a retarded man. She complies, then angrily throws her clothes at the men who forced her to have sex with the man. The man grabs her, throws her around, all the while yelling and screaming.
- A man threatens another man with an axe. From a distance, the man being threatened has his friends lining a rifle's sights up with the man with the axe. However, when the gun is fired, they accidentally shoot the man being threatened instead of the axe wielder. Blood spurts from his head and he falls over dead. His body is seen seconds later. A gaping wound is in his head and there is lost of blood near him on the ground. A fairly graphic scene, but nothing is seen very up-close.
- A man is shown vomiting whilst in a drug-induced stupor.
- A man throws some people who are extremely high on drugs around and commands them to do things while they are extremely disoriented.
- A man places a plastic bag over a man's head and shoots him in the head. No blood is senn, but we shear the shot and we see the man falls down on his face. The man who had shot him later stuffs the man's body inside of a suitcase. We only see the aftermath of this. The man's body is extremely contorted (it is implied that he had broken all of the man's bones) and his skin is very pale. Though this is not bloody, it may be the most disturbing image in the whole film to some viewers.
- A man punches another man unconscious with one punch to the face. His bloodied face is seen briefly as the man moves him away.
- A man stabs another man in the side with a knife. We do not see any blood, but we hear the knife penetrate and exit his body graphically.
- Two young boys are given a gas mask and a knife by the main character. It is revealed that these are the sons of one of the people who had tortured the main character's retarded brother in the past.
- A retarded man has a noose wrapped around his neck and is dragged to a secluded area by a group of ruffians who do nothing but the torture the retarded man. He then has a wooden contraption, much like a muzzle, placed over his head and is left alone in a brick building.
- HUGE SPOILER BELOW:
The retarded man, who we have seen all throughout the film following the main character around and talking with him, has been dead the whole time and was just a figment of the main character's imagination, living on only through his thoughts. We see the story explained that the retarede man, once taken to the secluded area mentioned above had either accidentally or intentionally hung himself with the noose around his neck. His dead corpse is seen hanging in the doorway of the area, staring blankly at the camera. This scene is very sad and almost completely unexpected. Very unpredictable and may cause some viewers to actually get emotional about what has happened (I know I did). Later, the main character forces another character to kill him. The man then forces the knife into the main character against his will, because the main character realizes how dangerous he's become and clips are shown with him and the man's children, hinting to the main character's insanity, that his revenge might not just stop with the last guy, that he might murder his family as well as him. He dies slowly and dramatically. He is seen in a large pool of blood shortly after. |
| profanity |
9/10
- Near constant strong, coarse language throughout (including use of "twat," "cunt," "shit," and "fuck"). Like something from a Guy Ritchie film.
- "Fuck" is used 116 times. |
| alcohol |
8/10
- The group of "bad guys" in the film take many drugs frequently (also drink alcohol quite frequently, sometimes while already under the influence of drugs). One scene shows the effects of the drugs in a disorienting and serious manner. Cocaine, marijuana, and various mixed drugs are all taken a couple times during the film.
- At some point in the film, a group of men force a retarded man to smoke cigarettes and partake in illegal drug activity against his will. |
| frightening |
7/10
- Much of the movie may be difficult to watch and not for the faint of heart.
- Watching Anthony (a mentally retarded young adult) being bullied and tormented could be upsetting for some.
- The movie becomes very dramatic towards the end. The film also contains a large plot reveal that many will find to be very emotionally distressing. The very end of the film will have the same effect on people as well, most likely.
- However, it's all shot with a fairly realistic atmosphere, replacing what-would've-been intense or frightening jump-scares for a more disquieting tone.
Total: 37/50 |
