violence
Scenes feature shootings that result in blood spurts and bloody aftermath detail. A person is stabbed with an axe and another with some scissors; however, much of the detail is concealed. There is also a scene of drowning.
threat and horror
There are intense and sustained scenes involving kidnapping, gun threat and shootouts. A terrified person is taped down to a table while their attacker prepares to surgically remove one of their internal organs. Another scene shows a person restrained and trapped within a rapidly burning structure.
language
There is use of strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms including 'bitch', 'shit', 'ass', 'tits', 'fricking', 'moron', 'hell', 'damn', 'Jesus' and 'God'.
drugs
A woman with a chronic illness is seen frequently taking a prescription opioid.
suicide and self-harm
Verbal, undetailed references are made to a teenager having attempted suicide in the past.
injury detail
A person is forced to sew up a deep and bloody gunshot wound to try and stem the bleeding. An ill person bleeds from their nose and bloody detail features in the aftermath of violence. A bloodied dead body is discovered in a car.
nudity
Brief natural nudity includes a glimpse of buttocks whilst a man is changing.
theme
Upsetting scenes feature due to bereavement and illness. In a flashback, a woman experiences a stillbirth; however, this is portrayed discreetly.
