Violence & Gore

  • Gordy punches a terrorist, and he rolls down a hill.

  • Several corpses are seen in a river after an implied attack.
  • There are many explosions and scenes of gun violence in this film. Many terrorists are seen being shot and killed, but most of it is bloodless. Some blood can be seen when the main character takes some punches and kicks, and the most bloody part is when one character is shot in the head and the bloody bullet wound can be seen.
  • A bomb explodes in a public place in L.A, killing several people, including the wife and child of the main character. Intense, but the deaths happen offscreen, along with many other implied civilian deaths.
  • Gordy wild in a news office, smashes the facilities using a baseball bat and threatens another man. A few minutes later, the officers arrive to stop the man by firing an electric gun.
  • Several scenes where fleeing, unarmed people are shot at. One or two people are seen getting hit, though it's hard to see. Most of the gun violence in this film is directed towards terrorists.
  • There are three, pretty brutal fight scenes that take place. One is between the main character and three terrorists inside a shed, and one character has a chunk of his ear bitten off. Not too bloody, but intense.
  • A man's mouth is forced open and kept open with a metal brace. A snake is then lead into his mouth and disappears down his throat.
  • A man has his ear bitten off, the one who bites it then spits it out.
  • A man is almost strangled with a chain by the main character, but he saves himself.
  • A top part of the building in Washington, D.C. was blown up, causing the employees to panic and vacate the building. It was detonated by a woman by dialing a phone number. No injury or death.

  • A helicopter shoots guns and rockets into a camp with people fleeing and others shooting back.
  • A man is thrown on a mine which then explodes.
