violence
There are scenes of violence in which characters are shot and villages are destroyed. Following an attack, dead bodies are seen lined up while people dig graves. Infrequently, the violence is accompanied by brief sight of blood.
threat and horror
There are occasional scenes of threat, such as when people are held at gunpoint during robberies, shot at, or pursued by vigilante gangs or posses.
language
Use of very mild bad language occurs ('Jesus', 'hell').
sex
A sequence takes place in a brothel, although no sexual activity is depicted. There are occasional verbal sex references, including sexualised use of the term 'screwed'.
