Screen It! is not attempting to rate the movie as good or bad but to give parents the tools to decide whether it's appropriate for their kids.

This movie has been screened for objectional content in 15 areas. Click for a detailed look.

OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
The following is a brief summary of the content found in this R-rated, subtitled film. Profanity is heavy due to 4 uses of the "f" word, while other profanities and colorful phrases are also present (in English subtitles). Some instances of violence occur, such as a person accidently being shot in the chest and another being struck by a truck (with mild bloody results, plus we never really know whether they survive due to the story's rewind feature). Other more mild violence occurs, including people threatening others with guns. Those moments involve the protagonists' holding up various establishments for money, thus giving them bad attitudes, while a girl's father is having an affair and not only states he won't be coming home, but also belittles his young adult daughter. Some brief drinking and smoking occur, while a few flash frames show a woman and man acting and dressed in S&M outfits. We also see the protagonists in bed together, but don't see any activity or nudity. Beyond that, the remaining categories have little or nothing in the way of major objectionable content. As always, however, should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness, you should take a closer look at the listed content.

For those concerned with repetitive flashes of light, some moments where still images are rapidly shown (like in a full-screen slide show) create such an effect.
