Graphic injury detail
The strongest scenes in the film involve car crashes. In one scene, a car loses control and smashes through a crowd of adults and children. Strewn bodies, graphic wounds and dismembered body parts are shown. This scene is shocking and can be disturbing for viewers.

Strong language is used in the film to emphasise strong feelings, ‘’f**k’, ‘wh*re’, bullsh*t’, is mentioned.
Sex scenes
There are two brief sex scenes. We see a man’s buttock as he joins a clothed women on a bed. In another scene, two characters have clothed sex, we only see thrusting movements - no nudity is shown.
