Some of that material may be unsettling or suspenseful to some viewers, while various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes. Some police beat a man in a park and we later see that he and others have been killed (noted by a mass burial). Some brief, sexually related dialogue is present, a married couple does some kissing (in one scene the wife is straddling the seated husband - both are clothed) and a shirtless boxer is seen with several women dressed in bed-like attire.Īll sorts of hard-hitting and sometimes brutal boxing violence is present (shot in a "you're in the ring" fashion, while film footage shows a fatal boxing blow from a past bout). Profanity consists of at least 9 "s" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered.
