Sex & Nudity

No sex scenes but one of the killers does look at one of the hostages like he would like to rape/have sex with her.

Violence & Gore

There are violent scenes throughout the movie. Examples include: a man shot in the head, several people on fire, a man stabbed in the mouth, people shot in the chest, a teenage boy thrown from the second floor of a home onto a floor, a dead boy with a bloody mouth, a man pounded in the head with a gun, a dead dog, and there are shooting scenes throughout the movie. These various scenes are pretty graphic and bloody.

Profanity

Pervasive, strong language with mainly use of the F-Word.

One of the psychotic teens smokes in every other scene.

The entire film is intense.
