Sex & Nudity

There is a mildly suggestive dance scene in which a woman flirts with a man. A rebel reads a pornographic magazine (We see a shot of a partially nude woman in the distance). A woman says "The world is falling apart and all we hear about is blowjob-gate,". A man says "I think you get off on people like me,".

A man states to a woman: "I prefer to get kissed before I get fucked." Two women approach a man (It is implied they are prostitutes), and ask for sex, stating that they don't have HIV. There are a few verbal references to rape that are brief but nevertheless disturbing. h A man is looking at a porno magazine, where a woman is striking a suggestive pose, and is completely naked. But the camera passes very quickly and it is not noticable, even if you look closely.

The film contains many sexual references and suggestive things, but they are very mild. It is on a PG-13/12A level, save for the violence.

Violence & Gore

Men have their arms sliced off forcibly by a group of rebels (We see some instances off-screen and some on-screen). A man is shot in the head (Blood sprays). Child soldiers are shown shooting and killing others as well as wielding guns. A child soldier shoots a man in the head (Blood sprays). A man holds a child soldier at gunpoint on several occassions.

Two men brawl; one of them attacks another with a shovel repeatedly (We see blood spray) before killing him. In a shootout scene, several men are shot and killed. A man attempts to get up, but is shot to death. A man is wounded and breathes heavily (We see multiple close-up shots of his gory gunshot wound).
