Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • The main theme of the movie revolves around a gun and how the use of it in the wrong way can lead to serious tragedies.
  • A main character passes out inside of a bathroom.
  • Toward the beginning of the movie a character is shot and killed, we don't see the act of it but we see the aftermath and the character spits up a small amount of blood. This is brief.
  • A bottle is smashed against a Wall.
  • There are many instances where people are punched and shoved. one of them involves a character falling down. These are not graphic and involve little to no blood.
  • At the climax of the film, one of the main characters shoots himself in the head, this does not take place on screen however there is a flash back to the shooting of the first character to die which shows the character being shot and blood on the wall behind him. This is somewhat bloody but nothing graphic.
  • toward the end of the movie two characters die. One of them is graphically (involving blood) shot in the head and dies immediately. The other character is then beaten to death.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • It is implied toward the end of the movie that one of the main characters has taken serious drugs which cause him to hallucinate.
  • In the beginning one of the main characters is seen holding a cigarette. this is brief and easily missed.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene toward the end where two more main characters are shot is rather intense and unsettling.
  • The film as a whole is disturbing and dark. It is meant to show the terrible things that can happen when people are not careful and how one simple thing can lead to the downfall of even the strongest friendships. This film is not meant for older audiences but prepare yourself for an unhappy look at the tragedy of what unsolved problems can accumulate to.
