The protagonist of the film is an alcoholic. There are a couple scenes depicting his addiction.

Some characters are seen smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.

The film's general nature is quite disturbing since it deals with kidnapping, ransom, revenge, and the loss of a loved one.

Even though the film contains strong brutal and bloody violence in some scenes the camera techniques are cleverly used to avoid the viewers seeing the direct actions, and this adds to the brutality of the deeds, but the violence is still very brutal.

A young girl is grabbed by a man, carried off and put in a car (we hear her screaming).

A man puts a loaded gun to his temple, and pulls the trigger (we hear a click but no explosion).

A woman describes how a child was beaten.

A man appears tormented by his past (we do not learn many details).

A man in a car pulls his gun on young people trying to wash his windows and beg for money.

Lots of the action is brutal and bloody, but much of it is seen through quick and flashy jump cuts, making it more brutal then gory.
