| Message | |
| Role model | Many characters are simplistically good or bad, but the central characters here are complex and flawed. They act out of their own needs and from their own perspectives, but are shown to eventually change and see other points of view, even at great risk to themselves. |
| Violence | The film contains mild peril, frequent harsh language, intimidation, and fighting. In one scene, a teenager punches a younger boy in the face, and his bleeding and bruised face is shown. A boy is punched in the stomach, then kicked while lying down. Three boys push a girl's head into a water fountain stream and then chase her. A woman is slapped across the face. A man punches another man. A mob of men shout racial slurs at a crowd of people. A man busts out the windows of a car with a crowbar. |
| Language | The film contains the use of the "N" word throughout. Elsewhere, there's mildly insulting language and some profanity, including "s--t," "stupid" to "ass," "goddamn," and "Christ" as an exclamation. A middle finger gesture. |
| Drugs | Casual smoking and drinking are shown throughout. Women smoke cigarettes during a card game, while men and women are shown consuming after-dinner drinks or celebrating at parties. |
