Sex & Nudity
-
- During the bridge attack the LMG carrier next to the commandant is completely naked and his genitals are seen.
- In one scene, it's implied that a man coerces a young boy to perform a sexual act on him, but the act is not shown at all and not even referenced.
- We see an extremely brief and quick flash of a woman being raped (no nudity and not close up) as a young boy comes in and quickly shoots the woman in the head.
- In one scene, it's implied that a group of soldiers have sex with a group of women. We see them go off into separate rooms, and we see the men come out of the rooms later on, shirtless.
- Some mild sexual references, but nothing too explicit.
- There are several scenes that show one of the soldiers completely naked from the front and back, and is very graphic.
Violence & Gore
-
- There is strong bloody violence throughout as combatants and non-combatants alike are shot, hacked to death or blown up with grenades - often with casual indifference.
- An innocent prisoner is hacked to death with machete as part of an obedience test. The scene is intense and the first blows depict graphic shots of the aftermath.
- A woman is shot in the head with an assault rifle at point blank range while being raped. Although this shot is brief, lasting only a second, it is graphic,
- A small girl is stomped to death. Mostly off-screen, we see her mouth full of blood.
Profanity
-
- 25 uses of "fuck"
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Agu and others children take psychedelic like drugs before going on a village massacre to take off the edge. Agu experiences hallucinations and colour change.
- Much of the drug use is by children. Smoking and snorting of drugs is seen.
- Plenty of drugs, all being used by children.
- There are several portrayals of cannabis joint smoking, more often than not by child soldiers. In one scene an adult rebel commander places resin, possibly heroin, on silver foil, heats it and inhales the resulting fumes. A cocaine-like substance is also snorted by several characters throughout the film.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Bleak and disturbing.
- Very disturbing and sad film depicting the harsh realities of war.
- There is a scene where a building is stormed by child soldiers, a woman is raped before being shot in the head, and a young girl, barely around five years of age, is stomped to death by a group of child soldiers, though most of it is (barely) offscreen.
- The film is incredibly bleak, violent and disturbing.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Agu's brother is shot in the head when fleeing gunfire. The camera zooms onto his body showing the front portion of his face unrecognizably mutilated with chunks of his head scattered close by. (Extremely Gory) (Very Disturbing)
- Abu is forced to murder a man using a machete to his head, it's very graphic and disturbing. Striker then finishes him off with another hit to the head and they continue to hack up the body off screen with some vigour.
