alcohol | The entire movie is based around gangsters manufacturing and selling crack cocaine, including depictions of crack smoking and addiction. |
frightening | The assassination attempt in which Wesley Snipes' character uses a little girl as a human shield may be considered intense/frightening to some viewers. The entire movie centers around gang violence and drug wars. The atmosphere of the movie is violent. 14+ |
