This is a gangster movie from the late 90's with the typical violence from that period. This includes:
- A man beats another man before stuffing a dollar bill into the latter's mouth. We see a newspaper with a photograph depicting a gory corpse of a mob boss.
- There are several short fight scenes, for example in one a man punches another man and knocks him over. There are several scenes such as that - one or two quick punches. In one scene a man strikes a woman.
- There are several scenes of robbery where the victims are beaten, tied up, or have tape put over thier mouths. In one it is implied that a man shoots a truck driver off-screen.
- A man is dragged by a gang into a bathroom, where he is then beaten violently (We see blood covering his body and some blood spurting); we see him being stomped on, being punched and being hit multiple times by a garbage can.
- Three gangsters are ambushed by various men and shot multiple times. Many of the gunshot injuries in this scene are shown close up. A man is shot in the stomach. graphic. A man is shot in the head (In the extended cut, we see some skin fall back) In the regular version we only see blood spray on a light. A man is shot in the shoulder. A man is shot in the leg. A man is shot in the stomach once again. He is then axed in the back. This is the most violent scene in the movie.

7/10
The main character is living a dual life, is threatened at all times, and can be killed by the people he operates with and those he works for. Thus there are many scenes where we think he may be caught.
There are also other scenes of violence and other activities described above which some viewers may find frightening or intense.
Total: 31/50. |
