Scenes of the shootings and dead bodies in San Salvador are disturbing but not overly graphic. Although a reformed alcoholic, Charlie falls off the wagon to get information and slides heavily into the bottle. His drunkenness is not condoned, however, drinking by other characters is accepted. One scene in a hotel room shows prostitutes in their underwear and later, Claire’s sister (Amanda Peet) is shown wearing little more than a military jacket. Both scenes imply sexual relations. The major disappointment, as is too often the case, is vocabulary that includes many obscenities and some strong profanity. However, no f-words are heard. Vulgar dialogue and sexual content are major disappointments in HIGH CRIMES.
