  The film has a cold and ruthless dystopian setting akin to George Orwell's novel 1984, where the United Kingdom is ruled by a brutal white supremacist, Nordicist and neo-fascist totalitarian dictatorship that has taken control of the land. The main villain is a ruthless dictator and a complete psychopath who brutally murders his opponents, and this may all be upsetting for some. The film also has a brutal and grim atmosphere.

  Occasional Holocaustic imagery. Mass graves, torture, human testing, etc.

  The movie is quite dark and disturbing.

  A man threatens to have a woman killed by firing squad.

  A woman is arrested and tortured for information.

  A man is shot multiple times, later removing his armor to reveal his bloody chest. He bleeds to death in another character's arms, this is emotional and may upset viewers.
