Sex & Nudity

Mild
12 of 23 found this mild
Two scenes in which attempted rapes are shown. Obviously, both include men forcibly restraining a woman, and tearing her clothes off, although no nudity is seen. They are stopped, however.
3-5 scenes of passionate kissing.
One implied sex scene. Passionate kissing is seen as they remove each other's clothing from the waist up and embrace in the grassy field. No explicit nudity.

Violence & Gore

Moderate
7 of 12 found this moderate
While some of the action is far-fetched, the battle sequences contain sword injuries and some spraying blood.
During a small battle on a field, a woman throws knives at a two soldiers. The knives whiz through the air and slit both soldier's throats, with brief and faint blood spurts.
Lots of soldiers are shot with arrows, some with dripping blood.
A dagger is thrown into a woman's chest. We see her shirt soaked in blood for a few seconds.
The end duel shows two men (who are already covered in bloody scratches) slash each other with swords. Blood flies through the air.
A man is slashed with a sword by a soldier, and blood briefly mists around the wound.

The film has some intense moments, including the climax and some of the fight scenes, but nothing horrific.
