this movie is rated R for suggestive content language and prison violence
PARENTS GUIDE:
SUGGESTIVE CONTENT: (Moderate)
there is one sex scene that is not appropriate.
multiple innuendos from the prisoners.
it is referenced that the main character Andy is molested this is not Sean but very heavily implied and not appropriate.
VIOLENCE AND GORE: (Moderate)
In one scene you could see bloody gun shots on a man. There is a shirt on him so you don't see the injury.
One scene involves the same men who usually terrorize him punching and kicking him against the ground
A man hits two others in the face with a film roll. He is then punched twice in the chest and once across the jaw (a dot of blood on his mouth). Shortly after, he is kicked four times in the stomach and hit across the face twice (seen from a distance). We then hear he spent a month in the infirmary.
A man is hit five times and kicked once. He tries to crawl away, but is dragged offscreen and is implied to be still beaten up. He is then seen injured and bruised in a wheelchair for a few seconds and we hear he spent the rest of his life in a hospital. Not for kids.
A man is beaten up by a prison guard, with 12 blows landing. No blood or injuries are visible due to the dark lighting, most of the blows are offscreen. It is later revealed that he died from his injuries.
One man holds a knife to another man's throat, a tiny wound is seen on his neck.
A man shoots himself in the head. The camera cuts away right before, and blood sprays onto the glass behind him. We then see him with a blood trail on his neck and a blood splatter on the floor below him for 2 seconds.
A man commits suicide by hanging. We see his feet jerk for a second or two. His body is then seen from behind for a few seconds.
PROFANITY (Severe)
I'm not even going to try to list the amount of profanity there is in this movie
but there is a lot and it's extreme.
DRINKING SMOKING DR*GS (Mild)
oftentimes in the movie the prisoners secretly deal cigarettes
there's an iconic scene where prisoners drink on the top of a roof.
FRIGHTENING AND INTENSE SCENES: (Moderate)
often the movie can go in a dark harsh tone
after getting released from prison in old man does not know how to live other than his life in prison so he commits suicide it is upsetting.
near the beginning of the movie a dude is tormented by his fellow prisoners and then beaten to death by the prison guard quite disturbing.
it is implied that the main character Andy is molested
a man is shot four times in the chest with bullets cuz he knows information that the prison Warden does not want him to know.
