- Sex & Nudity Reason
- There is a scene in a hotel between a man and a woman. Moaning is heard off screen for a couple of seconds, before the camera pans to the two characters in bed. There is slight female nudity, but due to the lighting, can be easily missed. Naturally, there is no male nudity whatsoever. In one scene, a man and a woman begin to passionately kiss each other, which eventually leads to implied sex. Nothing other than the kissing is seen.
- Violence & Gore
- mild
- Violence & Gore Reason
- One scene involves angry protestors. They can be seen throwing and hitting a truck with bats or 2x4s, in which several people are on board. No blood is seen. A man can be seen injured, and being carried through the plant by two workers. A significant amount of blood is seen on the right side of his body. Workers and protestors clash in one scene. They beat each other up, and blood is seen particularly on their faces. This fight scene lasts for several minutes. A man fires warning shots with a shotgun. No one is injured, nor killed. A woman slaps a man in the face. Mel Gibson and Sissy Spacek are in a constant state of peril them fighting back a river and a bank, but there is very little blood. The movie is pretty intense though. Sissy's character gets caught in the chains of the tractor of which she is working on. This scene can be distressing, as it lasts for several minutes without her being able to obtain help. Blood can be seen along the sleeve of her shirt, as time progresses. She eventually breaks free by provoking a buffalo through throwing objects at it so it rams the tractor. Later, she rushes to the kitchen where she runs the wound under the tap. Blood, and the open wound can be seen as she is in distress.
