violence
Scenes of violence include gunfights and fistfights, with occasional sight of blood in the aftermath of violence. A man is dragged by a car, and another is inside a vehicle when it explodes.

There is use of moderate bad language ('bitch', 'son of a bitch') and milder terms including 'piss', 'bastard', 'shit', 'screwed', 'hell' and 'damn'.
drugs
References are made to a man being a 'junkie', and another checks the man's forearm before declaring he must be 'high'.
flashing/flickering lights

Regular scenes of gun threat occur. A hit and run incident leaves a young woman without the use of her legs. There are mild sex references, and scenes of smoking reflecting the period in which the film is set. In a moment of distress, a man wishes he could take his own life, but does not act on these passing thoughts.
