violence
Battle scenes include repeated shootings accompanied by close-up sight of blood spurts, as well as scenes in which men are stabbed and slashed accompanied by blood in the aftermath. A soldier kills an insurgent by biting his throat. People are also beaten, including during scenes of torture, and there are also neck-breaks and cold-blooded shootings of defenceless victims.
threat and horror
A captured soldier is lashed to a wooden stave before he is subjected to interrogation by insurgents. A Gurkha soldier treads on a landmine, which is activated and subsequently explodes.
language
The film contains infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as milder terms (for example, 'piss', 'asshole', 'ass', 'bugger', ''shit', 'bloody', 'bastard', 'hell', 'damn').
injury detail
In one scene, a man's intestines spill from a stomach wound. There is also brief close-up sight of a dead man's throat wound, a scene in which a man's bullet wounds are treated, and scenes featuring dead bodies which include decomposed corpses.
theme
Scenes of emotional upset include those in which wives despair of their husbands returning from conflict, and during which the women cry. An elderly woman is taken ill, receives medical treatment but subsequently dies. This is followed by a brief funeral scene in which her face is visible as her body is lowered into the ground.
