violence
Moderate violence features shootouts, characters gunned down in cold blood, and hand-to-hand fighting which includes blows to heads with gun butts and attempted stranglings. Although lacking in strong detail, and with only infrequent sight of aftermath blood on clothing, the violence is impactful.
additional issues
There is moderate gun and knife threat. An action sequence features several horse falls, but the animals involved do not appear to sustain serious injury. A sick horse is shot dead to relieve it of its suffering, but this happens off-screen. There is mild emotional upset. Condescending and sexist attitudes are demonstrated towards a female character, but this is in the context of the historical era in which the film is set.
