violence
There are bloody shootings and a character is strangled in close-up detail. Hand to hand fighting includes crunchy punches, wrestling and biting, resulting in sight of blood. A man bludgeons a fish with a rock.
threat and horror
There are scenes of gun threat and of characters behaving aggressively toward others.
language
There is very strong language ('c**t'), strong language ('f**k') and milder terms which include 'shit', 'son of a bitch', 'God', 'damn' and 'hell'.
discrimination
Indigenous South American people are subjected to colonial violence and racist attitudes by white European and North American characters, who also refer to them as 'Indians' and call a part-Chilean man 'half-breed'.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A man is coerced into allowing another to have sex with him under the implied threat of violence; we briefly see a clothed man thrusting into his distressed victim in a darkened building. Two men talk about taking turns to rape a woman, but this act of sexual violence takes place off-screen; a third man is threatened and ordered to rape the woman, but he does not do so. We see the distressed, injured woman fearing further attacks.
injury detail
A man's forearm is severed in an off-screen accident; we see the remains of his arm, with blood spurting from the injury. A bullet is removed from a dead body, resulting in close-up sight of pooling blood; we also see dead bodies with splashes of blood over them.
nudity
There is brief natural penis nudity, in the context of a man wearing tribal body paint. We also see men bathing, with undetailed sight of buttock nudity.
alcohol and smoking
People smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol.
