Fred C. Dobbs and Bob Curtin, both down on their luck in Tampico, Mexico in 1925, meet up with a grizzled prospector named Howard and decide to join with him in search of gold in the wilds of central Mexico. Through enormous difficulties, they eventually succeed in finding gold, but bandits, the elements, and most especially greed threaten to turn their success into disaster.
6/10
References to or implications of killing though none of this is shown on screen.
Some typical western style gunplay with some banditos in the name of self protection. Also a 2 on 1 fight in a bar, but he had it coming.
There is a firing squad scene and a killing with a machette, but as mentioned above, it is implied, not fully seen.
profanity
4/10
Perhaps a few hells, and damns, and one "stinking".
A few uses of "jackass".
alcohol
2/10
The native Mexican mountain villagers smoke large rolled 'cigars' of obviously locally grown leaf. Make of that what you will.
frightening
6/10
The theme of greed may be found frightening to some. This film is quite intense.
