The movie’s description on the BBFC site explores intense violence, including instances of sexual and domestic violence, and includes mild spoilers.

The film earns a full five points for ‘violence,’ with the violence description including, “A man uses a knife to saw at another’s throat. A man uses meat cleavers to murder two prisoners. There is a frenzied stabbing. There are several scenes of domestic abuse in which men strike, humiliate, coerce and manipulate women and children. Fight scenes – in which guns, blades, and fists are used – are sustained and bloody.”
The film has been given three points in the ‘threat and horror’ category. The description states, “There are moderate scenes of threat, including when a man puts a pistol into another’s mouth. A man points a gun at a pregnant woman. A teenager takes a gun into a school to intimidate bullies.”
