Violence & Gore

Severe
17 of 19 found this severe
A man is killed in somewhat graphic execution scene, where the method involves having his back cut up and his lungs pulled out and placed in his shoulders. Though not much is seen and the especially gory bits are blurry, nothing is left to the imagination, and it's a very prolonged, intense, and bloody execution. The aftermath is briefly shown from a distance.

Profanity

None
6 of 8 found this to have none
A man is called "a son of a whore"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

None
6 of 9 found this to have none
Two men are very visibly drunk while throwing knives and shooting arrows at each other.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Severe
11 of 11 found this severe
The finale, wherein a man is blood-eagled, though very little is shown, is very prolonged, bloody, and intense, helped by the sound design of that scene where disturbing music plays over silence and how some members of the audience become sick or faint.
