Many people were put off by the nonlinear story, the matter of fact violence, and other objectionable material. Granted, there's a great deal that may offend some, but the sheer brilliance of the directing and script clearly overshadow those faults. This film is about that dark, underbelly of life, and that gritty quality only adds layer upon layer to this feature. Definitely not for kids or those upset by the often harsh material, the film is a must for film lovers as it's probably one of the better films of the 1990's. This movie is filled to the brim with stuff that many will object to.
Profanity is extremely high as are the bad attitudes among many of the characters.
Violence isn't overly abundant, but what's there is extreme, including a man being raped by other men and several murders. While little nudity is seen, activity and discussion occur that when added with the above rape give that category a heavy rating. Enough varied drug use is present to warrant an extreme rating, and the amount of blood is heavy, although one scene has more disturbing descriptions of a bloody mess than are actually seen. Since many older kids will want to see this film, we strongly suggest that you check out the content listings to determine if this film is appropriate viewing for them.
