The kid attractor factor: This edgy social satire does not have much appeal for kids or younger audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: All life has value.
Violence: Some extreme violence and gore.
Language: Swearing throughout.
Sex: Sex scenes and references to sex. No nudity.
Drugs: On-screen drug use and selling.
