Sex & Nudity

5/10

There are conversations about prostitution, oral sex and masturbation. A Vietnamese prostitute walks up to two men and tries to seduce them using strong sexual dialogue.

Graphic and bloody violence, much of it shown in slow-motion.

A man shoots his drill instructor in the chest (blood splatters out). He then puts the rifle in his own mouth and pulls the trigger (blood and brain matter splatters all over the wall behind him)

Scenes of war violence and the aftermath.

There is a scene towards the end of the film in which several main characters are shot and killed, with blood spraying from wounds in slow-motion.

70 F words, 69 S words, 13 uses of ass, 4 uses of Son of a Bitch, 3 N words, 4 uses of dick, 11 uses of God D***. all of these words are used in any form.

The profanity is strong throughout the film. Especially in the first half of the movie where the Drill Instructor uses a lot of very strong language.

A couple smoking scenes

7/10

The first half is intense boot camp training.

The climax of the film is the men attempting to outsmart a sniper.
