Why We Rated This

What to watch out for

• Messages:

  Corporate team members range from greedy and selfish to sweet and community-oriented; villains remain hidden by masks and are especially vicious.
• Violence:

  Ongoing, very bloody violence includes kicking, hitting, shooting, knifing, decapitating, skinning, burning (by a flamethrower), exploding (landmine under victim's foot), dismembering, and gutting. Villains chase victims through the woods and a dark, scary house; a bus accident leaves broken, bloody bodies; corpses frequently appear in close-up, showing wounds and blood; leg is cut off by bear trap (repeated efforts to free it only mangle it) and stored in mini-fridge; victim spits up blood. Weapons include missiles, hatchets, automatic weapons, hammers, knives, ropes, and machetes.
• Sex:

  Several scenes show strippers with breasts exposed; a man's naked behind; sexual remarks (a woman will "ride you like Seabiscuit"); sexual slang ("c--k," "winkie"); joke about a foursome.
• Language:

  Repeated profanity, especially "f--k," plus "s--t," "hell," and "bastard." Rude hand gesture.
• Consumerism:

  The movie is about a corporate sales team that revels in profiteering. Also, references to Hilton hotels, Bacardi, and Rambo.
• Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

  Cigarette smoking, plus drug use (Ecstasy, marijuana, magic mushrooms) that results in delirium.
