| nudity | This disturbing film may be unsettling for some people. The whole film deals with a child prostitution ring, mostly involving young boys. While nothing is shown, the worst part is what is left to imagination and what is implied. The dialog is the most disturbing part since the majority of the people talk about the young boys as if they were products. At the beginning we overhear a man and woman having sex through a speaker from a microphone in the next room. We later see the woman leave the room and she is confronted about having an affair by the main character. The main character's friend is a prostitute. We learn that a young boy was used for sex before he was rescued. A woman is seen taking a shower. Her breasts can be seen through the stain glass window. On a VHS film, we see a young boy about to be raped by a man. A man holds the boy's arms while the other man pulls down the boy's shorts, exposing his underwear. From this moment the film is fast-forwarded, showing a man getting on top of the boy and the boy being in pain. The film is shown again but we only hear what is said from the above part. The only thing shown is the man's face appearing to enjoy something and then it cuts to the boy appearing and sounding like he is in pain. The rest we only hear the audio, where the man continues to make 'pleasure' sounds. In a dance club, we see many women 'escorts'. We see a woman dancing seductively in the background. During a phone call, a man speaking in code about dogs, referring to different children he has available. Although the call is coded, it can be unsettling how the man talks about the 'puppies' (children). We see a stack of photographs of young boys with numbers on them, it is intended for the person to choose which boy to 'be with'. All of the boys are shown from the stomach up. While in a room with a frightened boy a man purchased, we see a closet full of S&M items and dildos in a fridge. A boy is seen urinating on an unconscious man. |

After being shot in the arm, the main character shoots the man in the knee twice, blood later seen on the sheet of the bed he is on. A man is shot in the arm. A man is shot in the chest, he spits up blood. The main character continually punches the man where he was shot, where the man's blood sprays on his face. |
| alcohol | Moderate amounts of strong language scattered through the film, mostly towards the end. |
