language
There is infrequent very strong language ('c**t'), occasional strong language ('f**k') and use of milder terms ('bitch', 'hell', 'shit', 'bastard', 'damn', 'asshole').
sex
There are strong verbal and visual sex references.
disturbing images
Gory scenes include a disembowelled police officer splayed across a prison cell, images of dead bodies with the skin removed and a decomposing body in a bath tub.
