A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES is a drama thriller about a private detective who is hired to track down those responsible for the kidnapping and murder of the wives of men involved in the drug trade.
- Violence
There are exchanges of gunfire and scenes of intense hand-to-hand fighting, including the use of weapons such as bottles, a meat cleaver and a garrotte. Violent acts sometimes result in sight of bloody injuries. There is also a scene of sexualised violence in which a woman is subjected to strong and disquieting physical and verbal menace by two men.
- Language
A single use of very strong language (‘c**t’), which is delivered in a sinister rather than aggressive manner, and numerous uses of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’, ‘c**ksucker’).
The film also contains brief images of sexual activity seen in photographs, and implied drug use.
Precuts information
During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission
Note: The following text may contain spoilers
This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised that the film was likely to receive an 18 certificate but that their preferred 15 classification could be achieved by making cuts to reduce a scene of sexualised threat and to remove an accompanying aggressive use of very strong language directed at a woman. When the finished version of the film was submitted for formal classification, edits had been made to this scene. The formal submission was consequently rated 15.
