Off screen the main character assaults a woman who pleads not to rape her and rips her blouse open. Not shown, but still possibly upsetting. See the comment on sexually assaulted.

The main character is constantly abusive to his secretary. She fearfully asks him not to rape her, and he says that he will if she doesn't kill him. When she fails to kill him, he is shown attacking her, hits her, rips her shirt open, and bites her neck. Later he tells a hallucinatory therapist that he raped someone. He also gropes the chest of a nightclub patron. Also his hallucinatory vampire gf is awful rough with him and his consent is kinda dubious.

0:36 — destroys his apartment in distress
0:40 — he gets really worked up talking to his therapist
1:03 — more or less him freaking out at someone to terrorize them
1:06 — more destructive behavior, smashing mirror; more physical than verbal meltdown
1:22 — begins freaking out in the club, screaming, swearing
a lot more nicolas cage-ism outbursts sporadically til the movie ends
