The Untouchables

Contains strong violence and strong language

violence
There are several scenes of bloody violence, including one in which a man is beaten to death with a baseball bat. There are numerous shootings, which are accompanied by large sprays of blood and occasional gore. Sight of the aftermath of violent deaths also shows bodies lying in pools of blood or with graphic head injuries.
language
There are several uses of strong language ('f**k'), alongside milder terms including 'shit' and 'son of a bitch'.
additional issues
One character occasionally uses discriminatory terms, such as 'wop' or 'dago', to describe people he meets. However, this reflects the period in which the film is set and the film as a whole does not endorse such discriminatory attitudes. In keeping with the period setting of 1930s America some characters are occasionally seen to smoke cigarettes or cigars.
