The City Of Lost Children

violence

Strong violence includes a character being shot with a harpoon, a stabbing, men hit in the face and over the head with glass objects, and a man's head being slammed onto a table. Although these moments lack strong detail, there are bloody aftermath images, including blood spewing from a character's mouth as they die. Milder violence includes fistfights.

threat and horror

Small children are abducted from their houses and off the street by sinister-looking men, and are taken to a laboratory. Although their treatment in captivity is not abusive or overtly violent, the children demonstrate fear and distress. An older child, bound with ropes, falls into a river and faces drowning, but there is a reassuring outcome. There is also gun and knife threat, as well as disturbing images, such as sight of oversized babies suspended in glass tanks filled with liquid as part of a scientific experiment.

nudity

There is sight of breast nudity as strippers run in panic after rats are let loose in a strip club.

additional issues: There is moderate bad language ('bitch'), as well as milder terms such as 'bastard', 'shit' and 'damn'. There are infrequent moderate sex references. There is brief sight of a man smoking from an opium pipe.
