violence
Strong violence includes brief stabbings, shootings, attacks with a hammer and an axe, and stranglings.
threat and horror
A woman working as a taxi driver is pursued relentlessly by an unidentified stalker who attempts to attack her and causes her car to be involved in serious crashes. However, none of the threat directed at the woman is of a sexual nature.
injury detail
The bloody carcass of a dog is found in a bed after being brutally killed off-screen. There is also bloody injury on people in the aftermath of violent events.
additional issues
Infrequent strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'piss', 'bastard', 'shit', 'screwed' and 'hell'. A passing reference is made to sex offenders during a police investigation. A woman encounters brief workplace sexism from her boss, which is challenged by other male colleagues. A couple fool around briefly in the back of a taxi. There is brief natural female nudity.
