The plot revolves around the abuse of children, specifically sex trafficking. Nothing is explicitly shown though.

There's flashbacks to Joe's childhood where it's implied he was abused if I recall correctly

I mean I guess you can say yes to this, sort of? A woman has been shot through the eye, and is found later, but it's not shown as a specific mutilate-the-eye kinda thing.

The main character seems to cope by placing plastic over his face and struggling to breathe. This happens a few times throughout the movie, and its the first scene as well.

A news report tells of a character falling to their death. Later on, the act is briefly envisioned from their perspective, but the aftermath is not shown.

There’s not an actual shower scene, but there are references to the Psycho shower scene, including the main character pretending to stab the bathroom door while another character is inside.

1. In the first scenes the protagonist is attacked in an halley, while he walks away the attacker is seen vomiting in the background. 2. Before entering the house where under-age girls are kept, the protagonists vomits, you can spot it earlier because the scene is seen from security cams.

At different times, a child & an adult have plastic bags on their heads, but do not suffocate. An adult hides in an open closet & later a child does the same.

Not shown but some deep explanations of the film suggests that Nina and her father have an incestuous relationship as Joe and his mother do.

The plot revolves around saving a child from sexual trafficking, so while there is no explicit sexual content its effect is present throughout.
