In this Western drama, a bounty hunter leads a group into deadly terrain in pursuit of a killer.

violence
People are beaten, stabbed, shot and strangled. Some scenes include blood spurts and blood in the aftermath. In one scene, a man is lynched and hanged in front of an angry mob.
threat and horror
There are occasionally prolonged scenes of gun and knife threat, as well as kidnap scenes.
language
Strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as moderate bad language ('whore', 'cock', 'son of a bitch'), and milder terms ('shit', 'balls', 'Jesus', 'Chris', 'God', 'damn', 'hell').
sex
There is a brief scene in a brother in which a couple have sex, and which include thrusting. However, there is no strong detail. There are also moderate verbal sex references.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a scene of sexual assault in which two men pin a woman down before she fights them off. There are also verbal references to sexual violence, and to a woman forced into sex work.
injury detail
Scenes include sight of a man with a heavily bloodstained scalp, as well as heavily bloodstained faces in the aftermath of violence.
additional issues
It is implied that a character smokes drugs through a pipe; however, the drug is not identified. Discriminatory terms ('dwarf', ''midget', 'shorty', 'stubby') are often challenged. Accordingly, discrimination is not condoned by the work as a whole. There are also references to suicide, illness and death.
