It is mentioned that people had been raped or put into prostitution while working in sweatshops in the Marianas islands.
Violence & Gore
Moderate
The murder of a greek businessman is reenacted (audible gunshots but no impact) and then newsreels are shown about the event, which is mentioned several times.
One of Abramoff's clients was an anti-communist revolutionary in Angola, who became a tyrant and is mentioned as having basically enslaved his own people.
Profanity
Severe
A series of foul mouthed emails between Michael Scanlon and Jack Abramoff are both shown on screen, and then said in voice over by Paul Rudd (playing Scanlon) and Stanley Tucci (playing Abramoff). These terms include multiple uses of "Fuck" (and variations such as "Fucko" and "motherfucker"), "shit", other moderate curse words and negative terms for Native Americans.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Moderate
A couple references to drug trafficking.
People are seen drinking beer, alcohol, wine, champagne and hard liquor socially.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
Mild
The entire film focuses on corruption in the American federal legislature, which may be intense for some viewers.
The reenacted murder at the beginning of the film may create a mild shock, but the rest of the film does not follow suit.
