Very brief: a police officer shoots at an attacking guard dog off camera, a yelp is heard, and the body is in the background briefly.

There are 2 1st person POV sexual assault + murder scenes in this film (shot from the POV of the killer). They are graphic, framed in a way that the viewer is supposed to feel badly about. The other characters in the film react with unilateral horror. It's not exactly "spectacle" in the usual sense of the word. The intended effect is disturbing and upsetting, not titillating. However, I voted yes because of the scenes' graphic, drawn-out nature.

People are intentionally brain damaged by an entertainment device and this could be triggering. They are shown struggling to speak etc. The entertainment device is addictive like a drug.

This movie is overall very critical of police (that is a central theme of the film) but the story is partly resolved by the ethical behavior of a police chief

A police officer (one of the villains) shoots himself in the head - we see him position the gun but the explosion is offscreen. We do see his body fall and his blood on someone else.
