It is much more graphic and violent than Children of Men.
Spoiler alert............
Some examples:
A guy gets his face pounded in with the bottom of a coke bottle while you watch his face turn to mush.
Another guy gets his leg amputated - you see the first saw cut through the skin.
Graphic set-up for torture scenes describing what will be done to him - then you see the guy's beat-up face and cut up hand which resulted as he begs to die.
Another guy's mouth is cut open with a knife so he looks like The Joker.
Bloody miscarriage scene.
A young girl is gut-shot at close range and lies on the ground bleeding out as she dies.Maybe when he's 12....

- Totally agree. Much more graphic and if not outright violent much more brutal than COM. nt - sjb 14:21:09 01/22/07 (1)
- I have to disagree here; I think that the realism of warfare is much more graphic; see explanation above. (nt) - Audiophilander 08:58:15 01/23/07 (0)
