Warfare: parents' guide

An IED blast kills an interpreter outright, leaving body parts in the street, and maims two SEALs, whose shredded legs are shown at length during treatment. A grenade wounds others, a tank fires into a building, and insurgents are shot. Blood fills the frame.

Constant profanity: Plugged In counted more than 50 f-words and about eight s-words, plus piss, misuses of God's name and crude hand gestures.

Before the mission, the platoon cheers at a racy 1980s-style workout music video whose dancers wear thong leotards that bare their buttocks, and some men copy the moves. A wounded man's genitals are briefly visible as his pants are cut away for treatment; nothing sexual.

Soldiers smoke and chew tobacco. Wounded men are given morphine for pain and beg for more, and one soldier accidentally injects himself with it. No alcohol is shown.

After a calm opening, most of the film is sustained, real-time terror: men screaming in agony for long stretches, smoke and dust after blasts, and the constant threat of being overrun. Even adult viewers may need to look away.
