Message
0/5

Various factions in Iraq are corrupt, including U.S. intelligence, U.S. military, local administration, and local militias; characters deceive one another and angle for power; even those who mean well make serious mistakes due to ignorance.

Violence
5/5

Combat violence, including shooting, explosions, bloody injuries, and a drowning that leads to grieving and cover-up; a major character is killed (body plainly visible); frequent discussion of battle tactics, including training of Iraqis, kidnapping, and "blowing s--t up" held by a militia group; Anna appears bruised and disheveled.

Sex
0/5

Brief sex scene in hotel room shows some skin and tossing about in bed; discussion of arranged marriage for reluctant Iraqi daughter; poolside scene shows women in bikinis; attraction between American journalist and Iraqi photographer; a sad kiss.

Language
5/5

Frequent uses of "f--k" (20+), to approximate war zone slang, as well as other profanity, like "s--t," "a--hole," and "damn."

3/5

Discussion of McDonalds, Toyota, Pringles.
