A character looks up multiple families via hospital records and the internet, finds their homes, and then goes to those homes to stealthily commit murder. At one point the character watches a family from afar before entering the home.

Children are hunted and murdered by a main character. Child death is not directly shown on camera. One small child in particular is exposed to traumatic events such as witnessing the death of an adult and running for his life. At one point, the child’s face is grazed by a bullet. Though not exactly what the tag “child abuse” is probably looking for, this can be upsetting to those who don’t want to see children in dangerous settings.

A character cuts a message into his arm to be read by his future self. This happens twice. You do not see the cutting itself, just the scarring. You do see the bloodied and bandaged arm of one character zoomed in, but the shot is brief.

There is a scene I still can't think too hard about because it haunts me. Essentially, bad guys on the past amputate a person from the tires up, causing character in the present to disappear vertically.

Not visible, but the aftermath is shown as the future version of the character being tortured slowly loses limbs and body parts.

The torture sequence is almost bloodless, but it's graphic and disturbing in its own way.

There is a point where it looks like a character is falling to their death (and it doesn’t resolve for a while) but the character does not die from this.

The sudden appearance of a looper's mark and the following shots could be considered a jumpscare due to how unexpected it may be.

One of the main characters has a son, who becomes overstimulated because of confusing information from when he was a child. The mother locks herself away, unsure of what to do.

This scene does end with the two making up.

Yes. One of the main characters works at a bar that doubles as a strip club. A lot of scenes involving the club focus on nudity.
