| nudity | During a baptismal scene, a young woman wears a white robe which becomes completely transparent once wet. With no bra underneath, her breasts including nipples are completely exposed to the audience and to the protagonist. The protagonist leers at her breasts throughout the remainder of the scene. |
| violence | At the beginning of the movie, a homeless man is beaten hard over the head with a hammer, falls underneath a train, getting dragged and ultimately crushed underneath the wheels. Although a low-budget effect, the aftermath is still rather gory. The train conductor who causes this shows absolutely no remorse and laughs at this. A man suffers a severe abrasion to his shoulder and upper back. Low-budget effect, but graphic. A restrained man is strangled by another man, but this is interrupted. Scenes of helpless homeless men being struck by blunt objects through the course of the film, either by direct contact, thrown, or otherwise. Train comes to an abrupt halt, causing some men to be injured, one apparently dies when his head breaks through the engineer's window - very little blood is shown in either injury. Another man is thrown backwards into the boiler causing a massive third degree burn to his upper back and shoulder. (Possibly the same prosthetic used for the previously mentioned abrasion.) Two men have a fight at the end of the movie on a moving train. Some punches are thrown and some weapons are used including a hammer, chain, 2x4 and an axe. A man is strangled apparently into unconsciousness. We see some low-budget blood and gore. A man is struck hard with an axe and pushed from a moving train. |
| profanity | Several uses of 'son of a bitch'. A few uses of 'shit' and 'god damn'. The protagonist exclaims "Jesus Christ" but in the context is mistaken by all others as religious fervor. |
| alcohol | A police officer is pressured by a gang of homeless men to drink hard alcohol and he has a strong reaction to it. Some scenes of smoking cigars and cigarettes. |
| frightening | Many of the more violent scenes could be intense or frightening to some viewers. There are many scenes of intense verbal abuse and bullying from the primary antagonist toward his coworkers. There are some instances of collision and near-collision of a locomotive. A box car is set on fire from the inside with people trapped inside. |
