Apart from minor lacerations, bruises and some bleeding, there is no gore. The violence, on the other hand, is somewhat extensive. In both regards, very young teenagers are frequently involved. The movie deals with themes of police corruption, and thereby some police brutality (including extrajudicial killing) is depicted. No characters die onscreen, however.
A boy wielding a shiv or ice pick uses it to slash an agitated man's face in order to escape the man's grasp, and the man hollers in agony. The wound is a fairly gruesome gash running across the left eye, from the forehead to the nose.
In one scene, a battered young boy bound at the hands behind his back is shown repeatedly colliding, back and forth, with the hard interior of a car (in the back seat at first and then the trunk), as the vehicle is deliberately driven in fast, sharp swerving motions. He cries a bit too.
There are two scenes in which a young boy is being fired upon while being chased by the men shooting at him (almost being shot a couple of times), and there is one scene with a grown man being pursued in a similar manner.
Down on his knees, a battered young boy has a pistol pointed at him at pointblank range and is subjected to a fakeout execution, i.e. shooter intentionally misses as a warning. This is presented in a wide angle shot, which makes it seem initially like the target might slump over shortly after the gunshot.
A man slaps a child in the face, knocking him down, after shouting at him after having unsuccessfully interrogated him. The child briefly screams when this happens.
A young boy uses a pistol to strike a man in the head, after having pointed it right at and pressed it to the man's head.
From an elevated position, a child drops a stone on a man's head, causing the man to stumble, whereupon the man is rushed by a young boy then punched and kicked by two other young boys.
A man is shot in the leg while trying to flee a raid. When his pursuers reach him, they grab at him, and one of them punches him in the head.
A young boy with a few tiny scars and stitches on his face gives an account of having been punched and beaten by police officers.
