There are occasional sexual references and some suggestive content. A character is shown in a towel, and there are brief intimate wrestling sequences between Nick and his wife early in the film.

The film features frequent, stylized sci-fi action, including shootouts, explosions, and hand-to-hand combat. Monsters are shown exploding into dust when defeated, and there is one scene involving a character being stabbed with a metal pole.

Language is moderate and frequent, including over 40 uses of profanity such as 'shit,' 'ass,' 'hell,' and 'damn,' along with some derogatory terms.

There are brief, non-graphic scenes depicting alcohol consumption and some incidental smoking by background characters.

The central theme involves death, the murder of a police officer, and the afterlife. Several scenes depict the emotional impact of a character's death on their spouse and the concept of judgment after life.

R.I.P.D. runs 96 minutes, directed by Robert Schwentke, released in 2013.
