Adding insult to injury, the convenience store is being robbed by the most inept criminals in the Southwest. That's the setup for this surprisingly tame Foxx film, especially given Foxx's ribald reputation. Maybe he's trying to capture the younger audience. There are some mild expletives. References to male anatomy fly around on several occasions, and there are more than a few potty jokes.
Comedic violence runs rampant throughout the movie.
After the leader has the general's family murdered, the general wanders about and eventually becomes a slave, then a champion gladiator. The title tells it all about this R-rated film. The ancient Romans didn't speak profanity as we know it. They were known for their, ummm, sexual interests, but with the exception of one disturbing scene in which the Roman emperor, portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, comes on to his sister, sex has been excised from this film. There's nary a bare body part in sight, and the act itself is nonexistent.
