Cuts:
This work was originally seen for advice. The company was advised the film was likely to be classified 15 but that their preferred 12A classification could be achieved by reducing bloody detail in two scenes. When the film was submitted for formal classification the bloody detail had been reduced - by means of reducing the amount of blood visible on screen rather than by making any 'cuts' - and the film was classified 12A. No footage has been removed from the film.
