R violence type: blood, brutal and graphic.
The opening segment of this movie shoots the rape scene from the eyes of the 10 year old victim. You see the two men tying her up, one of them getting undressed, and them thrusting on top of her. It is not particularly graphic, and there is no nudity, but it is very emotionally disturbing. Blood is seen on her body.
We later see the girl bloody and disfigured in a hospital bed. She lives, but can never have kids because of the rape.
There is a brief scene in which Carl Lee shoots the rapists. Not very gory, but the dead bodies are seen in pools of blood.
