No, the votes are wrong on this one. A mobster threatens to kill a dog if the main character doesn't pay money he owes. However, the dog does NOT die or get hurt.
In a couple of scenes, I think we're supposed to be seeing the world through the eyes of someone who had been doing several drugs, or at least crack. First one starts with an iguana and a bearded dragon. The second one is right after a shootout.
Main character does throughout. So do some others. Drugs used: cocaine, crack, heroin and prescription pain medications. A marijuana joint is also smoked.
