Not really that violent (Heavy spoilers)
Ok, so let's see. Stanley is shot in the shoulder, and Arthur's friend who's name I can't remember is shot. We see a decent sized blood splatter on both. Arthur is shot in the stomach, we see a small amount of blood pour out. Charlie gets the spear through his shoulder, we see almost no blood. A few men are shot at the beginning, but we only see it for a few fractions of a second. Jellon Lamb is stabbed and then shot offscreen. A man's head is stomped on offscreen. Jacko's throat is slit offscreen, those men in the jail cell are killed offscreen, Mikey is whipped offscreen. It's R-rated violence, yes, but not so extreme as to merit the reputation that it has. The only really graphic part is when that one man's head is blown off, and we only see that very briefly. What does everyone else think?
Zed's dead, baby.
