Content

There is a  lot of gunfire, and quite a few games of chess, visits to nightclubs, the mafia boss’s house and the criminals hideouts often involving female nudity. The hero has medical problems which are mostly unresolved, and there is quite a bit of random violence some of it quite difficult to watch. Quite a bit of drinking and smoking.
