Violence & Gore

moderate

Frequent fistfights and shootouts A man is shot in the arm, and he grimaces in pain. A man is shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the neck. We see bullet wounds. A man shoots another man in the head and the gut, and a little bit of blood splatters onto the face of another man. A brief non-graphic wound is seen in the back of the man's head, however the camera angle makes it hard to see. A man has bruises and cuts on him throughout. Two men shoot each other multiple times, with lots of bullet wounds. A man shoots another man at point blank range. A man frequently threatens other men with his throwing knives. A man is shot twice in the arm, another man is shot in the arm, and another man is shot all over his body (we see bullet wounds). One of the wounded men then shoots another man right between the eyes, and we see a bloody bullet wound with blood gradually dripping out. Several men shoot another man down, no blood (it's seen from a distance).
