    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 0.0

    Glad My 13 yr old didn't see this!

    This movie was a confusing mess. It had extreme violence, drinking to drown sorrows (yeah, that's the way!), male nudity (rear) and references to homosexual sex. There is no way this should be rated pg13!
