violence
A cop repeatedly strikes a person's head and face with a baton, resulting in bloody detail. Moderate scenes include a montage illustrating the violence during the Troubles with a series of of undetailed bomb attacks, without sight of casualties.
threat and horror
There are scenes of moderately intense threat, including gun threat.
language
The film contains very strong language (‘c**t’), as well as frequent strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘prick’, ‘dick’, ‘shit’, ‘piss’, ‘bloody’, ‘arse’ and ‘bastard’, in addition to use of the ‘wanker’ and ‘middle finger’ hand gestures.
sex
Infrequent strong sex scenes show couples thrusting vigorously in various positions, with occasional breast nudity and crude verbal references.
discrimination
Unsympathetic characters make derogatory remarks about native Irish speakers, referring to them as ‘scum’ and associating the language with criminality and terrorism. In one scene a police officer brutally beats an Irish speaker while demanding that he speak English. The film clearly criticises discriminatory attitudes and behaviour.

There are frequent visual and verbal references to drug misuse and dealing, in addition to frequent sight of people abusing drugs such as cocaine, MDMA, LSD, ketamine and marijuana.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A female character makes a joke alluding to sexual violence, although the verbal detail is discreet.
