Violence & Gore

  • Three guys are being held by a henchman in order to be killed. They struggle with the henchman's gun which fires into the latter's head (blood is seen splattering on the wall, and it's confirmed that he's dead when a guy says "he's got no head"). Afterwards one of the guys shoots two guards offscreen. Another henchman arrives and is about to shoot the three guys, but a man comes in and knocks him out with a piece of wood.
  • A club bouncer refuses to let a guy in, whom argues with the bouncer and then stabs him in the neck and chest many times with a pencil. He knocks him to the ground, kicks and punches him, and then hits him in the head repeatedly with a trash can lid.
  • A man shoots a guy in the stomach (he survives).
  • Three men are driving a car, which a large truck, occupied by two Russian henchmen, crashes into. One of the henchmen stabs a knife through the roof of the car, almost stabbing one of the men inside; the car crashes, throwing the henchmen off the roof. The men inside the car aren't seriously injured, but the henchmen jump back on, so the car crashes again. One of the henchmen struggles with a man, but is then shot repeatedly (he survives since he has a bullet-proof vest on), while the other one is hit repeatedly with a golf club. This sequence continues with a long on-foot chase. A man holds his gun on some people. One of the henchmen chases a man, whom hits him with a piece of wood (offscreen, we see the wooden bar with some blood on it); the henchmen comes back up with some blood on his head.
  • A man gets his legs broken with a golf club (one hitting is pictured but the others are offscreen, we hear hitting sounds and the man screaming). He is later seen in the hospital.
  • Two henchmen come to a man's house to kill him; one of them pulls a sword on him. Another man enters and shoots the henchmen offscreen (it is implied that they are dead).
  • A gagged man tied to a chair is lowered into a pool of crayfish (they are said to be a killer species, but this is later revealed to be false); he comes back and is interrogated, the other man assumes the information is faulty, and lowers him again (it is possible that he is left there until he drowns).
  • A bound man is put into a pool full of water; its is implied that he dies.
  • It is assumed that a woman is killed.
  • A guy puts a gun to his head, then puts it down.
