sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a prolonged scene of sexual violence in which a man forces his wife to have sex. Scenes of sexual threat also occur, including a sequence in which a man walks in on his step-daughter in the bathroom. There are occasional verbal references to sexual violence.
additional issues
There are sustained scenes of threat in which a man terrorises a family. Characters are tied up with a length of thick rope around their necks. Scenes of strong violence occur, including heavy repeated blows using fists and improvised weapons, occasionally resulting in extensive bloody facial injuries. In one scene, a man bites a chunk of flesh out of a character’s face, however, this lacks focus on detail. Other moments include undetailed shootings. Occasional strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker') occurs, as well as other terms such as 'shit', 'son of a bitch', 'hell' and 'Jesus'. Posters featuring nude glamour models are displayed on a wall. This includes sexualised breast and buttock nudity. There are also infrequent visual references to self-harm and alcohol addiction.
