'71

Parents need to know that '71 is a period wartime action thriller with bloody violent deaths, strong language, and prolonged moments of peril and suspense. Set in Northern Ireland during the "The Troubles" in the 1970s, British soldier Gary Hook (Jack O'Connell), gets accidentally left behind by his unit in a heavily divided part of Belfast. Set against this backdrop of religion and nationality, both soldiers and civilians are shown as being capable of kindness and violence. Violence features throughout, ranging from smaller incidents between individuals to explosions and riots, and attacks with guns and knives that result in death. All of these incidents are shown to have "real-world" consequences, with characters frequently harrowed and plunged into shock and trauma as a result. Swearing also features heavily -- including variants of "f--k" and "c--t" -- with characters cursing out of frustration and fear in numerous situations. Slurs and insults are also directed at people based on their religion and nationality. The divides within the British army are also explored, particularly along the lines of class. There is very little diversity among the main cast, but this is perhaps reflective of the types of jobs done by the main characters, the setting, and the time period. A kid is seen baring their naked backside to a group of soldiers, while in another a scene a kid is seen drinking beer.
