Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- A man has graphic heart surgery. A new heart is rushed to the hospital room, while the patient has a scalpel cut a line down his chest. His unhealthy heart is then removed, leaving a wide, gaping hole in his chest, where they then insert the healthy heart. Very bloody, not for the queasy, and lasting for several minutes intercut with other scenes.
