Sex & Nudity

  • A naked woman is riding a man from top. Her buttocks are visible and she is thrusting into the man. Later the man gets on top of her and kisses her between her breasts
  • A man is changing clothes in front of a naked woman and his buttocks are shown. The woman's body is see frontally in a non-graphic manner - as distance and lighting allow visualization of breasts but not genitalia. The man's and woman's nudity are not sexual.
  • A couple is overheard having sex; load moaning and kinky dialogue (e.g. "choke me") can be heard.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • 29 uses of "fuck"
  • Occasional swearing includes "shit", "god damn", and "asshole"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • People seen drinking alcohol and smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The entire movie is about two soldiers who tell the next of kin that their loved one was killed in action. The scenes with the families are very intense and hard to watch. A mother becomes hysterical as does her pregnant daughter-in-law. A father vomits when he finds out his son has died. The scenes are very realistic and are filmed in unbroken, single-shot takes.
  • Captain Stone's breakdown at the end of the film is unexpected and very sad
