The protagonist, Frank Morris, scoops up a deceased friend's pet mouse to take on the escape.

He puts the mouse in his trouser pocket and then later wades chest high into the water. The mouse is never seen again.

There is also a rat that is thrown down a vent shaft.

You don't actually see it, if it's apparent (and maybe even implied).

So very brief. I wasn’t even sure it was happening. Not graphic.

About 43 minutes in. If you don't want to see it, look away after Doc calls the guard over.

Someone almost gets sick when a person’s fingers get cut off. I believe he turns away before you see anything.

The normal cells are pretty small and D block is even smaller than that. Could potentially be triggering.

It's more of an attempted sexual assault during a shower scene.

We don’t really know how it ends, but I wouldn’t say it’s sad since I believe they survived. It’s an unsolved mystery.
