The following information breaks down the film's rating and content warnings. It does not mention any character names or delve into plot points. If necessary, we occasionally include minor spoilers to help keep audiences informed about what they are watching.
Violence
As with the GTA games, there is frequent and strong violence. The violence mirrors that of GTA gameplay and uses actual footage from the upcoming release.
Many scenes include some form of violence, mostly with guns. Examples include drive-by shootings, police chases, reckless driving, first-person-shooter POV, and a car explosion.
One of the stronger scenes depicts a multi-person shootout, leaving many characters dead and traces of blood marking the floors. We see a man on the floor, clearly shot dead, lying in a pool of his own blood.
Offensive language
There is frequent strong language throughout, with particular use of “f**k” and “motherf**ker”.
Drug use
Two main characters visit what looks like an underground ‘drug den’. We see characters in the background making drugs.
