Sex & Nudity

None.

Violence & Gore

Lots of gun fights, fist fights, and a sword fight. People are shot. Someone gets their face cut off. Blood shown is very minimal.

Near the beginning of the film, a shootout takes place between armed troops and a group of offenders. Lots of bullets fly, but blood and gore is very minimal.

A man is shot in the head point blank with a desert eagle, the shot is shown from a birds eye view. No blood or gore is shown.

A further fight is seen between armed troops and more offenders, again alot of gunfiring and kills made, but bullet impact is kept clean.

One of the black clad troops executes a pack of dogs found at the site, nothing is shown on screen, only the sounds of gunshots and yelps as the camera focuses on the hero's face.

A gunfight ensues between the hero and a unit of armed troops, again lots of gunplay and shooting, but it is fairly clean. Only bloodly scene is when the hero shoots 2 troops with shotguns, shattering their helmet visors.

2 men fight with kendo sticks in what becomes is effectively a semi practise/semi fight

A troop shoots an offender execution style in the chest

The hero attacks 2 black clad troops, he clotheslines the first knocking him out, and hits the second troop several times before breaking his leg and snapping his right arm at the elbow.

Straight after this, the hero attacks 4 or 5 more troops; he pistol whips them with the 2 pistols he is carrying shattering visors and eventually knocking them all out.

A line of offenders are executed by troops using automatics, this is shown through a semi-opaque screen so only silhouettes are shown.

The hero attacks a troop who enters his house, by disarming him and training the gun on his head

The hero grabs a man and throws him through a fake bookcase, in order to see what hes hiding behind it

A woman is executed in a furnace, only a very quick shot of the flames rising are seen before the camera cuts to another image

The hero is attacked by his former colleague, who punches him in the face and throws him to the ground before cursing him.

The hero shoots a unit of troops with 2 desert eagles, as before, alot of gunfire but no real bullet impact or blood

The hero enters a marble foyer area where 2 lines of black clad troops are waiting. The hero shoots them all with his desert eagles and finally with an automatic rifle. The focus here is much more on gunplay than blood or gore, any shots depicting troops actually getting hit with bullets are quick and minimal.

The hero enters a room and is surrounded by 5 well dressed guards carrying swords. He takes the sword off one of the guards and quickly dispatches all guards with a series of slashes. Afew quick shots are shown of sword slash injuries and a small amount of blood.

A man has his face cleanly sliced off, this is shown from the sid.

The hero and another man have a very close range gun battle, which ends with the hero shooting his opponent clean in the head , again any bullet impact is kept minimal and clean.

The guards are attacked by a horde of "rebels" and quickly gunned down. No blood, only dust where the bullets hit.

Profanity

F-word : 1 S-word : 2

None.

Possibly a few surprising gunshots.
