Sex & Nudity

Rated R for strong bloody brutal violence, pervasive language, strong sexual content and drug use.

There's both male and female rear nudity

A man and a woman are on the subway kissing. The man opens the woman's jacket. She's not wearing a bra and there are close up shots of him playing with her boob.

There is a scene in the movie where several characters are dancing. A few of the women are not wearing tops and their breasts are completely exposed while they are dancing. All of the men are fully clothed. In one couple, the man is shown playing with the woman's boob. A man is kissing two women at the same time.
