Sex & Nudity

Mild
11 of 20 found this mild
Sex: None
In one scene a man pursues two thieves. They suprise him, and since they have weapons he can't run or fight. They steal his clothes and leave him naked in the field. His penis is seen for a couple of seconds. People then find him, and his penis is seen again for another second as he puts pants on that they give him. Non-sexual but still graphic nudity.

Violence & Gore

Severe
5 of 9 found this severe
During the movies, men and children bear arms and shoot civilians. A man shaves his head and forces his hair into a woman's mouth causing her to vomit. At the end, the children OD and are stabbed; one man burns to death; and one main is gruesomely killed with a machete by the protagonist.
