(brief and little blood is visible and spurts quickly) Then the man is stabbed in the neck (brief and little blood spurts for a second)

  • Contains moderate action violence
  • A man snaps a woman's neck and drops her to the floor (we hear the crunch, see the action in a reflection and we see the dead woman lying on the floor with her eyes open). Extremely disturbing and shocking given how sudden and uncalled for this scene is.

  • Two cars speed through busy roads and along a sidewalk causing other cars to swerve out of their way and crash, as well as people to jump out of the way: one of the cars gets out of the way of an oncoming streetcar just before being struck, one of the cars is struck by a truck causing it to spin around several times, the truck dumps its contents (kegs of beer) onto the roadway and one onto the windshield of the car, and one of the cars ramps and flips onto its side and then onto its roof and is in the direct path of a streetcar that crashes into it just after the occupants of the car get out; we see one of the drivers with a bloody cut on his head.
