violence
Scenes of violence include a man throwing a grenade on a street in Belfast as another man dives on a group of children to protect them; a man bringing a briefcase into the London underground and then throwing it into the tunnel as it explodes; men shooting at one another; and an adult son slapping his mother. The scenes are mild and lack any sight of blood or injury detail. There is also an undetailed verbal reference to a murder potentially being posed as a suicide.
additional issues
The film features very mild bad language ('God' and 'hell').
