Vice (2015) Parents Guide: Is the movie OK for kids?
Age Rating, Sex, Violence & Language
Julian Michaels has designed the ultimate resort: VICE, where anything goes and the customers can play out their wildest fantasies with artificial inhabitants who look, think and feel like humans. When an artificial becomes self-aware and escapes, she finds herself caught in the crossfire between Julian's mercenaries and a cop who is hell-bent on shutting down Vice, and stopping the violence once and for all.

Parents should be aware of on-screen sexual assault and strangulation, multiple targeted shootings, scenes of blood and a brief topless moment, plus an escalating violent uprising.

- 0:06 ♥ Sex & Nudity 8/10
- 0:09 ♥ Sex & Nudity 8/10
- 0:12 ⚔ Violence & Gore 8/10
Sex and nudity in Vice
Strong, disturbing depictions of sexual assault and exploitation of the android characters early on (onscreen assault and rape of androids), including a scene where a woman is tied and beaten and a man assaults an android; there is also a nightclub corridor with implied sex and a brief topless stage performer. The assaults are presented graphically in consequence and emotionally intense, though full nudity is rare.
Violence and gore in Vice
Frequent, often-lethal violence throughout: close-range shootings, strangulation, physical beatings, and an armed chase/final gunfight. Several characters die onscreen (including a creator figure protecting Kelly and the mercenary Chris); there is some blood but not prolonged graphic gore.
Language in Vice
Moderate to strong profanity appears intermittently, including occasional use of the f-word and many aggressive threats during confrontations and the final assault on the resort.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Vice
Mild — characters drink in bars and clubs, and some patrons appear intoxicated during violent scenes; no significant drug-use sequences are shown.
Mature themes in Vice
Strong adult themes: sexual exploitation and assault, trauma and memory, dehumanization of androids, revenge, corporate corruption, and questions about creator responsibility and AI rights. On-screen deaths and grieving (Evan's death) underscore the film's darker moral stakes.
