Several references to street-kids taking and being high on cocaine and sniffing glue.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
2 of 3 found this severe
The film's general content is about a hold-up on a bus at gunpoint and so is potentially frightening. The film includes lengthy sequences of hostages being held at gunpoint and crying/looking distressed, sequences in which the kidnapper talks to the camera during the hold-up and a scene inside a dark and cramped jail cell.
