Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

A scene where a man is receiving the death sentence via lethal injection occurs. The man screams in pain and agony for a few minutes before dying.

A man is being prepped for torture, a tongue fastener is painfully placed into his mouth. Later the man is shown in 6 different pieces.

A man in a jail cell is stabbed repeatedly in the neck with a bone from a porterhouse steak until dead. Blood sprays the walls and another man. The scene is shown with detail.

A man is shown dead having been buried underground

Pictures of a dead young child are shown with blood on the child.

A man is punched several times in the face, his mouth fills with blood.

Several explosions occur killing numerous people.

A woman is shot in the head and parts of her brain are shown on the floor.

A man is struck in the head with a baseball bat and then twice in the ribs as he is lying on the floor.

Profanity

The movie contains moderate profanity in relation to other movies of it's kind.

Although the torture sequence is not shown, the setup is very intense and suggestive; also, a DVD of the sequence is sent to a little girl later on and she views it, also suggested and not shown, but with intense reactions by the girl.
