(THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES LEVEL OF VIOLENCE: 7.9\10) infrequent, hard hitting violence.
A man shoots a man in the head, some blood splatter is seen.
Two men shoot back and forth at each other: one man is struck in the leg (we see blood spurt), the other in the arm, and then one is shot in the back while a third man jumps out a window and crashes onto the ground hurting his leg; one of the two men left inside is shot in the head (blood pools on the floor).
A man grabs a young teen, punches him, throws him on the ground, continues to punch him in the head and face while holding his hand over his mouth, pulls on his ear while threatening to tear it off, and slams his head on the ground repeatedly (he eventually stops beating him and the boy runs away).
Characters struck hard on the head with the butt of a gun with blood seen running down the face of one.
A man cuts the heads off two live snakes with a knife as they squirm and bleed.
A character attacks another who mocked him, punching at him.
A dead animal is seen hanging by a rope around its neck outside a man's residence.
A man points a shotgun at a man who turns toward him, we hear no shot and the scene ends but it is implied that the man is shot. Several scenes where characters discuss violence and inflicting it on others, making threats.
