strong violence, torture

violence
There is a kidnapping scene and several other scenes of strong violence - notably a cold-blooded shooting of a woman, a man is throttled in close-up before he beats a man with a fire-extinguisher, a character repeatedly plunges a broken bottle into a man's chest. A man is electrocuted several times. There are other scenes of gun and fight action.
additional issues
There is a theme of young women being kidnapped, trafficked and sold into the sex industry. There are scenes set in a red-light district, with references to prostitution, drugs and abuse. There is a crunchy scene where a man is hit by a truck. There is a muffled use of strong language ('f**k').
