  A 12-year-old Prostitute plays an important role in this movie.

  A man says he has to clean the "cum" (semen) out of the back of his Taxi.

  One man vulgarly speaks about "What a .44 Magnum Pistol would do to a woman's "pussy."

  There is a disturbing scene where a gangster dances with and gropes a 12 year old girl. It is heavily implied that he has been raping and molesting her

  Some sexual references are bold, using the word "pussy" in a couple of scenes.

  Although there is no clear nudity in the movie besides a VERY quick glimpse at a female rear. Sex is implied (though never shown)

  A pimp tells a man all the type of things he can do to a 12 year old prostitute. This exchange of dialogue is sexually explicit and disturbing since the man is talking about a child.

  The protagonist takes a woman on a date to a pornographic theater. Some sexual sounds can be heard until the woman leaves the theater in disgust.

  Deleted/Uncensored Scenes where characters having even more sex and their genitals were fully visible in the movie.

  Close to the beginning of the movie, a scene where a man goes into a porn theater. The screen is blurred so you can't see anything clearly.

  This film really isn't that violent until the end, where it gets very violent.

  There is almost no violence in this film until it's final sequence where the violence is at its worst. There is a large amount of blood soaking the walls, some gore, shrieks of pain, and ruthless murder in this final sequence. After the scene concludes, shots of the walls and floors soaked with blood are shown.

  R violence type: blood, gore and graphic.

  A man shoots another man in the stomach. He is later shot again in the chest and we briefly see a circle of blood on his shirt.
