Sex & Nudity

moderate

Central to the theme of the movie is the main character having an extramarital affair with his co-worker. A murder is implied to involve rape of a woman. The case also includes a bound murder victim, possibly reminiscent of rope bondage. Photographs of this are seen without any nudity. In an office, man and a woman begin to undress to have sex. He lays her over a desk and sucks her breast. Sex is implied. Nudity includes only female nudity of bare breast. Man lays naked under covers in a bed. Nude woman lays on top of him. Nudity includes both male and female--bare chest and female rear nudity. Sex is implied. As she lays on top of her bed, wife makes a brief reference to masturbation to her husband, implying she had masturbated or thought of masturbating. No nudity.

Violence & Gore

Pictures show bloody injuries. Besides a good bit of arguing and a few mild fights (i.e. a suspect gets smacked by a cop for getting wise) there's a lot of references and we hear the stories that unfold. A coroner says he thinks the killer tore out a lady's diaphragm (not shown) There is talk of a child having his head squeezed in a vice (not shown on screen).
