Violence & Gore
severeA woman is shot point-blank, and some graphic bloody bullet impacts are visible. A naked woman is shot, and her body is thrown off of a balcony. Her corpse is seen lying on the ground. A man elbows another man in the face. A man lights a room on fire. There's a shootout between a man and several other men. Two men are shot in the head, one with a bloody hole seen. Several other armed men arrive, and are all violently shot and killed. A man on a rooftop shoots at several cops below, and a man on a neighboring rooftop shoots him. He falls, and lands on the ground offscreen. There's a long shootout between two men that occurs after one smashes the other's face with the butt of a gun. The attackers shoots at his victim, but the man backflips several times and dodges the bullets. Both then shoot at each other, and one hits the other non-fatally (some blood flies from his mouth). A man punches another man in the face and holds him at gunpoint, but he's shot in the stomach by a third man. A fourth man shoots the shooter several times (graphic), killing him. A man is shot in the back (offscreen) by another man, but he lives. A man slits another man's throat, killing him (the slitting happens just under the screen, and isn't shown). A man dies in another man's arms. Men in a car drive alongside a prison transport bus and open fire on it, graphically killing many prisoners, and a cop. Another man on the road blows up one of the police cars with a missile launcher, killing two men inside. A security guard is shot in the back through a door (VERY graphic, insides and gory hole seen, with much blood on the door). Maybe the film's most graphic moment. A man on a rooftop shoots at several cops below. Two men fight in a room after one tackles the other into some objects, and kicks him in the face. The other then hits him a few times, and tries to strangle him with a chord. He then kicks him and tries to strangle him with a chain, but they continue fighting. One slams the other onto a table, but is shot in the back by another man. A man on a rooftop is shot in the shoulder (graphic), and he commandeers a chaingun near him and shoots it at the cops below, until he's shot graphically many times, and dies. There's a shootout in a hotel lobby between two men, and a third man approaches one of the shooters, and violently stabs him in the stomach (not graphic, but much blood is seen on the floor).
