Violence
The film has fight scenes with explosions, car chases, and stunts. The violence is exaggerated by slow motion and sound effects, but a lot of it looks unrealistic, focusing more on movements than injuries. Stronger moments show spurting blood alongside knife violence. The action happens quickly, and most blood detail is shown from far away.
More intense moments include:
- From afar, you see a character behead someone and then attack others with a machete, showing brief blood spurts.
- While holding a machete in their mouth, a character presses the blade into a man’s neck. The scene cuts away after seeing a brief shot of blood.
- A character is stabbed in the stomach, with the wound briefly shown.
- A character stabs someone and then slits their throat, with minimal detail shown.
- A character’s neck is broken, and you hear the bones crunch
- A character is impaled with a flagpole, and is then shown falling in the distance.
Mild language
There’s some mild coarse language in the film, including the words “god,” “damn” and “hell.”
