There are crunchy and sustained fist fights and beatings, often involving use of improvised weapons such as bottles, furniture and a heated metal pan. A comic scene shows a man responding to a woman’s flirtatious teasing by pulling her hair and repeatedly striking her.

The tone is often dark and intense, particularly during scenes of violence.

Bad language includes ‘damn’, ‘moron’, ‘hell’ and ‘God’.

A man makes a crude discriminatory comment towards a transgender woman, then physically attacks her when she retorts. An Indian character makes a series of racist remarks about Chinese people, while other scenes contain references to ableism. Discrimination is clearly criticised, however.

During a prolonged scene of sexual threat, a group of men secretly enter a changing room where blind women are undressing and bathing. Other scenes contain undetailed verbal references to sexual violence including child sexual abuse.

A naked, bloodied man with a mutilated face is shown hanging upside down by his ankles in the aftermath of brutal violence. At a crime scene, a police officer vomits at the sight of a pair of bloody corpses impaled on pikes.

There are sustained scenes of emotional distress.
