Suggested MPAA Rating: R for sexual content, some drug use and brief violence.
-Different bits of a scene, in which a man and a woman are interrupted in the back seat of a car, appear several times throughout the movie. Clips show the man fully nude from the rear. It is implied that the men interrupting the couple rape both people. We see the woman running naked into the house. In another clip in this montage, a boy is being spanked on his bare bottom.

-In a party scene we see several women topless or in see-through blouses.
-A sex scene briefly shows a fully nude man thrusting on top of a woman. His clinching butt is seen briefly. Otherwise the film is shot from the shoulders up. She bites him and scratches his back.
-A man picks up a hustler but backs out of asking for sex.
-There is quite a bit of dialogue about the work of prostitution.
-There is a scene that is played two or three times throughout the film, of a man and a woman having sex. The woman's breast is seen briefly, and he moans a hell of a lot throughout. |
| violence |
-A man beats an old man a couple of times with punching and slapping leaving the man's face bloody and knocking his dentures out.

-A brief flashback scene appears to show a dog getting hurt.
-A man is sick and coughing throughout the movie. He later dies with his eyes wide open. |

Characters smoke frequently throughout the film.
An old man is shown sitting up in bed drinking beer from a bottle as a boy and his grandmother lie happily beside him.

| frightening |
The end can be very upsetting
The intensity of this film could help educate naive young minds, especially rural and suburban youths who have no understanding for the loss of innocence in big city environments.
It is strongly implied that a main character was sexually abused by his Grandmother in his youth.
This film is very depressing.
In the final scene of the movie one of the main characters dies of his illness on a bus. It is a total surprise (the death) to his travel companion/seatmate when he looks over to see him leaning against the window, motionless and dead. After telling the driver, he must close his eyes and tell the other bus riders it is just an illness. This is very sad and emotional ! |
