Intense ScenesModerateNone Mild Moderate Severe

The main character is slightly racist due to ptsd, reluctantly though he is intent on helping others.
The film can be intense throughout due to the fear that violence will erupt or characters may be hurt in stand-off, gang-related scenes.
The scene on the lawn is quite intense.
Several scenes of characters pointing guns at each other as well as some scenes of shootings.
