The Devil's Advocate

Few positive messages, mostly conveyed by negative example, about the dangers of temptation and making choices that appease your vanity. Possibly the only thing standing in the way of the devil is that man has free will. The devil will always be around, trying to tempt you into succumbing to him.

Lots of blood and some gore. Some of the violence, including mention of rape, is deliberately not clear as to whether it's real or imagined. Two suicides graphically depicted: One shows stabbing and slitting the throat with blood; the other shows a gunshot to the head with slow-motion falling and close-ups of blood and gore. Very bloody photographs of murder victims shown in investigation context. A toddler holds up a gory, bloody internal organ, possibly in a dream or vision. A beating with a stick is shown with the dead victim's bloody face afterward. A full- frontal nude woman's body with many bloody cuts is shown. Realistic police-operation footage shows a raid on a ritual animal slaughtering with brief, quick-cut images of throat slitting and bleeding. A cow's tongue on butcher paper is manipulated in a ritual. Faces of minor characters briefly morph into grotesque monsters. A gun is shown and used a couple of times. A court case shows a teen testifying about being molested by a teacher. A pedestrian is run over by a car, thrown violently, and the bloody face and body are shown. A scared woman brandishes a knife in the darkness.

Frequent, no-holds-barred, strong profanity with many variations. "F--k," "s--t," "goddamn," "bitch," "hell," "Jesus Christ" as exclamation, "pigf--king," "boning," "fistf--k," and "d--k" (body part).
