A scene of a rape is seen as a series of flashbacks during a state execution, and although you never actually see the man actually raping the woman it is very clear what is going on.

Sexual innuendo on a few occassions.

No gore.

There is a scene where two men drag a man and a woman from their parked vehicle. The men then proceed to hold the boy at gunpoint while they take turns raping the woman, which is not shown graphically, just with shots of the woman's face and some long shots. Both of them are brutally murdered after the rape; the man is shot in the back of the head (Partially off-screen), and the woman is stabbed many times (Off-screen.) before being shot in the head. It is extremely disturbing, but nearly everything is off-screen.

A man is shown being executed via lethal injection. It is not graphic.

Light profanity.

-shit, damn, son-of-a-bitch on rare occassions during the movie.

-1 or 2 uses of the F word

A prisoner is seen smoking cigarettes throughout the movie.

All of the violence in this film is presented in a way to make it seem realistic so the scenes containing violence are very intense and disturbing.

-a lethal injection of a prison inmate

-The rape is very emotional and intense and could cause some people to cry.
