alcohol | Two instances of cigarette smoking. One instance of cigar smoking. Some instances of drunkenness. One of the ships taken over by pirates was in the process of smuggling cocaine, but no one is seen using any. One person is shown acting high. |
frightening | This film has some intense action and violence throughout. There are several instances of bloody and graphic violence. The violence has an uneasy mix of being somewhat action orientated in parts; yet due to it's context and presentation it can also come across as disturbing and realistic. There is some suspense and quite a few intense sequences throughout. Not a film really suitable for persons under 15\16 years of age, due to the depictions of violence and some scenes of horror. |
