  Some grisly crime scene images.

  A police officer brawls in a restaurant, punching and kicking several people. A man grabs a table leg and strikes the officer with it; the table leg had an exposed nail which impaled him. Blood is seen oozing out of his leg which is later amputated off camera.

  A policeman kicks a suspect in the face, throws him onto train tracks as he continues to beat and kick him, puts him in a chokehold and throws him to the ground. He then points a gun at the suspect's head. Blood comes out of his face.

  In one sequence a man is hung upside down by his ankles in an attempt to coerce a confession from him.

  This isn't a very violent movie aside from scenes that show beatings.

  A mentally disabled man is repeatedly beaten during interrogation. He is kicked, poked and prodded as he squeals in pain.
