Frequent strong and bloody violence includes stabbings, knife slashings, limb severings, hangings, beatings and shootings. In a relentless sequence, a number of women and children are brutally and sadistically murdered. A woman in labour has her baby bloodily forced from her body and another is forced to watch her child being murdered before having her face mutilated with a knife. During a darkly lit sequence, a man violently kills several dogs who are attacking him; however, no real animal cruelty appears to take place.

Scenes of sustained strong threat occur and are directed at children and women.

Use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’) is accompanied by milder terms including 'bitch', ‘slut’, 'bastard' and ‘shit’.

There is a sexual use of 'f**k' and other moderate sex references.

References are made to drug cartels and deals.

Violence results in extensive moments of bloodshed and gory detail, such as severed limbs, a bitten off ear, and distressing sight of a child's heavily beaten face. A man plunges his hand into another's chest and removes his heart.
