Sex & Nudity

  • A woman is naked sitting on the floor. We see her from her side. A portion of a breast is seen for about a second. (Extremely brief)
  • Almost no sex/nudity is present in this movie.
  • A woman dances seductively for a man. She removes her blouse but not her bra. She says "You know me, I can't stand to go on like this forever". She pulls his hand to her breast and asks to be held. He wants to do work; what he considers work. They get interrupted.
  • A few sexual jokes... but not graphic ones

Violence & Gore

  • A few scenes with gunplay as the group tries to avoid cops and bad drug dealers
  • A dead girls body is shown (the gang stumbles in on her after a drugraid) (no blood)

  • Moderate level of adult language, including 24 uses of the f-word.
  • fairly moderate R-Rated language and phrases (use of the F-word, S-word, etc.)
  • some sexual jokes (nothing graphic)

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The main theme of the movie is teenagers/young adults who rob pharmacies to get chemicals for them to make their own drugs
  • Several scenes are shown with teenagers/young adults abusing drugs and they are shown high
  • Drug use is shown constantly, most are high and in a druglike trance throughout the movie
  • Nearly all the characters smoke and drink
