Violence & Gore

  • Twice in the film, Drew is hit over the head with a pistol and knocked unconscious.
  • A rabbit is killed by a group of boys, and then Jake skins it. This could be potentially upsetting, especially since the rabbit is seen to suffer and struggle before the killing shot. In another scene, chickens are being grabbed and one is turned upside down, its head slammed into the ground.
  • In one scene, Boog steals a pie from a windowsill. As he runs off with it, he is shot in the head, with blood splatter. As the other boys run away, Drew is shot in the shoulder, and is later seen with blood on his sleeve.
  • Jim Bob and Loney are found hanging from a tree. Can be rather unsettling.
  • A shootout occurs in one scene, in which 4 robbers are killed. The first one is shot with no blood. The second one is shot in the neck and then in the face with some blood seen. The third is shot twice in the back, no blood but we still see a wound. The fourth is shot 4 times in the chest area, with graphic blood splatter.
  • A farm robber is hanged from a tree. Unsettling and Disturbing.
  • A posse of marshals open fire on a wooden shack, with people inside being shot, bloody wounds are seen. Afterwards, some people run out of the shack and fire on the posse, with some of them running away. In the ensuing chaos, Drew tackles Jake, kicking and beating him until he is unconscious, and he is later seen with a bloody nose. Overall this scene is sudden and shocking.
