Why We Rated This for Ages 16 and Up

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Murder, betrayal, blackmail, deception, bargaining for power and favors. No one here makes a morally sound choice.
• Violence:

  Explicit shot of young woman's naked corpse; discussion of Grace's brutal murder (her eyes were filled with aggressive toxin); Harrison loses his temper at a deceptive employee and hits and pushes him, then turns his desk over; man threatens woman in his car; courtroom case concerning murder; flashback to a murder (blood on the wall as killer hits victim with pipe) leads to a secret burial at night; surprise stabbing in a kitchen produces blood on floor.
• Sex:

  Politician/intern sex scandal; sexual slang ("stroke a man's d--k," "balls"); full-frontal shot of woman's naked corpse; several shots of Rowena in lace panties/bra ("exotic" mirror view and close-ups); several sexy dresses show cleavage and leg; consenting sex up against a wall (hidden voyeur watches; viewers mostly hear bumping and moaning, with the focus on the watcher's face); references to Harrison's "lesbian" assistant; shots of Harrison having sex with mistress through apartment window (gossip about his adultery includes the remark, "He's into some very kinky s--t"); flashbacks to incest committed by Rowena's apparent stepfather (could be her father) as he approaches/scares her in the bathroom; fashion show features models in underwear; (ridiculous) online flirting ("I'd like to get a fistful," etc.); references to "blue balls" and "deep throat" (in journalistic context); sexual photos (bondage and other activity) on computer screen.
• Language:

  Repeated uses of "f--k," plus other profanity -- "s--t," "ass," "hell," "son of a bitch," "goddamn," and a scene that features repeated use of "bulls--t" in anger.
• Consumerism:

  Repeated placements for Reebok and Victoria's Secret (they're clients for an advertising agency in the film), as well as mentions or visuals of Vaio laptop, Planter's nuts, Armani, Ben & Jerry's, Google.
