The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this new feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes .
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

We see a woman's bare breasts, she is high on drugs and she jumps out a window. A prostitute is a character in the movie.

Violence & Gore

Strong action violence. A man is covered in water and is shocked with electricity (for torture). Another man is cut and then torturers put salt on his wound. Several car chases. Lots of gun shooting. A famous scene where Mel Gibson fights another man while water falls on them. Earlier in the movie Mel Gibson puts a gun in his mouth (but does not fire).

Profanity

At least 20 "F" words. About the same amount of "Sh" words. A bunch of smaller swear words are used.

We see a woman take cocaine. The plot involves heroine smugglers. Mel Gibson buys some cocaine from some drug-dealers and then arrests them (with some fighting).

The scene with Mel Gibson putting the gun in his mouth might disturb some people. A scene when the father of a 22 year old girl (who was killed) is crying and looks at a picture of the girl when she was little might also upset some people. The torture scenes and some fighting scenes may also be disturbing.
