This may depend on your definition. A lab monkey is shown multiple times with electrodes inserted into its head. The monkey's ultimate fate is not mentioned.

A lab monkey is shown, but whether he dies as a result of experimentation is not mentioned.

There is a close-up view of a robot removing long, slender needles from a blind man's eyes. The needles inject nanobots that rapidly restore his vision. Not technically mutilation, but may still be triggering.

A character self-sacrifices at the end of the film. It is not graphic and they nobly take responsibility for their actions and same everyone, but it could technically be seen as suicide.

There's a line of dialogue that implies that anyone who has been "networked" is effectively dead, but at the end of the film, a character remarks in surprise, "he didn't hurt anyone". We don't see the released networked people, but the implication is that they are ultimately unharmed.

This is the kind of movie where there really is no "bad guy" and everyone sort of loses in the end. I would call it "bittersweet", at best.

The use of nanotechnology to rapidly heal wounds is extensively illustrated and this generally involves close-up shots of gunshot wounds and other bloody injuries.

There are various blinking lights and rapidly flashing white/blue text on black computer screens throughout the film. This movie also alternates aggressively between darker indoor scenes with black backgrounds and very bright indoor scenes with white backgrounds or outdoor scenes with white objects and a bright sky. Potentially triggering.

There is one scene in which two vehicles are driving away from the terrorist organization's base. From the front vehicle's rearview mirror, we see the rear vehicle perform an unexpected 360 degree flip in the air and crash. We do not learn the fate of its occupants. The lead vehicle is then driven into a barricade of large kitchen appliances. The vehicle flips onto its side and skids. The passengers are injured, but able to exit the vehicle. It is unclear whether the driver survives.

There is no possession in the traditional sense, but those who have been "networked" become part of a hive mind and can be controlled. Potentially triggering for some.

It may be worth noting that someone does die of radiation poisoning, but it is not related to nuclear weaponry.

Some members of a terrorist cell beat one of the protagonists, force him into a car, and take him back to their base, where he is caged for some time before agreeing to join their cause. A group of members from the same organization later breaks down a motel room door and runs in wearing hazmat suits, seizing a protagonist from the bed and taking her back to their base to meet with the other protagonists.

A man vomits into a toilet near the beginning of the film. This mainly occurs off-screen.
