Sex & Nudity
-
- A character is taken out of solitary confinement naked, and he is given a hospital gown to wear. As guards drag him down a hall, it slides up and you can see all of his bare legs.
- A sex scene, some lunging, they are clothed. Implied o-sex.
- The main character is seen naked in solitary confinement throughout the first half of the movie. His bare backside is often visible.
- A man who is behind the bars tries to touch a woman. He then starts to... (sex implied), but he stops.
Violence & Gore
-
- A man socks a mirror while cutting himself shaving.
- This movie actually does not contain any gore, and has very little blood, but the violence is present and quite strong.
- A prisoner is sadistically tortured by the guards and the deputy warden in various manners: he is beaten; he is thrown down the stairs. One official slices a prisoner's Achilles tendon (ankle) condemning him to be lame for life.
- A man is killed by a spoon pierced in his throat. He is shown lying on the ground with some blood. A few black & white photos of his corpse are seen later.
Profanity
-
- Some swearing, including several uses of F*ck, D*mn, Sh*t, B*tch.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Smoking of cigarettes is shown.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This movie focuses on the violence in a prison, and is quite intense and psychological. The Deputy Warden seems to be unduly sadistic towards the prisoners. One murder is dreamlike and surreal.
- The main character is tortured and left in solitary confinement for 3 years, always in complete darkness, and with only half an hour of air per year.
- He experiences mental instability which comes across to viewers and can be intense.
- The torture scenes are not very graphic but they include some forceful beatings which some will find distressing. We see the scars he carries as a result of the abuses. He is also limping.
