violence
Several people are hit by bullets during a shootout, creating spurts of blood. We see another series of blood spurts as a poacher cuts into a live tiger cub with a blade; the cutting process itself is concealed from view, however, and there is no evidence of real animal cruelty. Moderate violence includes crunchy punches and beatings.

additional issues
There are scenes of moderate threat in which two men are held captive, beaten and threatened with torture.
