  • During the final shootout scene several people are shot, we sometimes briefly see bullet holes and blood however it is always shown very quickly. A man stands upon a balcony in the middle of a shootout and is shot through the chest. Blood sprays onto a window behind him and we see a large bullet wound with blood on his shirt as he stumbles around and dies.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A few scenes take place in bars.
  • A protagonist is implied to be an alcoholic.
  • Characters are frequently shown smoking, as expected based on the time period.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The final battle scene goes on for about 30-35 minutes and stands as the film's third act. Although the blood and detail are minor, the raw atmosphere through sound and visual immersion of the action make it quite intense, similar to 13 Assassins's 45 minute battle.
  • The main villain is quite disturbing.
  • The many deaths of the protagonists is upsetting.
