There are advanced AIs throughout the movie. There is one controlling a car which is overriden, and then crashed. May be triggering for some.

There aren't really bugs in it, but STEM looks like a centipede in the few scenes it appears in, and Grey calls it a bug when he first sees it. If you're really freaked out by bugs just watch out for when it's on screen I guess.

A man's head is severed almost in half from front to back with the knife horizontal across the jaw hinge. Opens the jaw up like a snake. First guy Grey hunts down.

A head is blown off in the rooftop chase scene: disappears in a quick cloud of gore.

Not necessarily mutilation - a character (many are augmented/teched out) uses an implement from his finger to poke a dead character's eye to see his memories.

A man's jaw is severed nearly from his skull by knife from behind. I know it doesn't affect the teeth directly, but you will certainly SEE ALL his teeth as his mouth gets opened wide like a snake's unhinged jaw.

At the end, the main antagonist is revealed and he manipulates the main character's mind so that he thinks he's imagining everything and has a better reality than what is happening in real life, thus letting the antagonist take over completely and do as he pleases.
