violence
There are several scenes in which police officers beat and shoot people, some of which include bloody injury detail. Some of the violence has a racial and racist context.
threat and horror
There is strong sustained threat during scenes in which police interrogate and threaten suspects, with much of the threat carrying strong racial overtones. There is sexual threat during a scene in which a male police officer threatens a young woman by briefly placing a rifle barrel under the hem of her skirt, and also in a scene in which he tears her dress open briefly exposing her breasts. There are scenes of rioting in which petrol bombs are thrown, police and firemen are attacked, and shops are looted and burned.
language
There are several uses of strong language ('motherf**ker', 'f**k') throughout, as well as some milder bad language such as 'whore', 'hos', 'slut', 'piss', 'bastard, 'shit', 'bullshit', 'asses', 'hell', 'Jesus Christ', 'God' and 'goddamit'. The film also contains some discriminatory terms (for example, 'n****r', 'Negro') and attitudes; however, these are not condoned by the film as a whole.
additional issues
Marijuana joints are smoked but there are verbal references to the destructive effects of drug misuse. There are also some moderate sex references.
