NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN VIOLENCE GUIDE!

The violence is ranked, using color, on a scale from 1 to 3, with black text as a baseline of 0; that is, no violence, although their may or may not be the threat of it, but--no violence; green (1) is not too bad; yellow (2) is questionable; and red (3) is dreadful (dreadful would be my word).


00:03:00 - A man gets strangled to death. This is quite brutal and you may just want to skip it. It lasts for about 40 seconds.

00:03:45 - A man washes his hands in the sink and there is some blood on them, but it's his own blood from where the handcuffs bit into his wrists.

00:05:05 - A man gets shot in the head at point blank range with a weird device. You may want to skip this, though it's pretty quick. If you do skip it, the device is the oxygen tank like thing with the hose attached to it, and at the end of the hose is a like pump handle. The air tank is pressurized, and squeezing the pump handle apparently shoots out a small rod a few inches and then retracts it. I think they use something like this to kill cows for slaughter. The man who gets shot in the head with this falls over dead. The whole thing takes about 5 seconds and then it cuts to a new scene.

00:07:55 - Nobody gets hurt in this scene, so hopefully that will put your mind at ease. A man comes across the result of a shootout, so there's a bunch of dead bodies (even a dead dog) and a bunch of parked cars. The man finds one guy who is still alive, though just barely, they talk very briefly and then the man leaves.

00:12:15 - A man comes across a dead body. Not too bad.

00:17:35 - A man comes across a dead body in the dark. There isn't much to see here.

00:18:20 - A man gets shot at a few times and at 00:19:10 he gets shot in the shoulder, but he's only slightly wounded.

00:20:20 - A man shoots a dog and kills it.

00:20:30 - A man looks at some buckshot wounds in his shoulder, nothing too bad.

00:21:00 - Nobody gets hurt in this scene, I'm just noting this so you can watch it without worrying that something bad is going to happen.

00:27:45 - One man gets shot in the chest and another man gets shot in the head. Both die, and it's over in less than 5 seconds.

00:33:25 - Nobody gets hurt in this scene, I'm just noting this so you can watch it without worrying that something bad is going to happen.

00:49:55 - A man gets shot twice with a shotgun and is killed.

00:50:15 - A man holding an Uzi gets shot with a shotgun. He dies, but first fires off a bunch of rounds that don't hit anyone. You then see his bloody corpse at 00:50:25 for about 5 seconds.

00:50:50 - A man is shot with a shotgun, but it is done so behind a shower curtain, so you can't really see it.

01:00:45 - A man gets hit in the chest with a door lock, then he fires a shotgun at the door. You don't see anyone get hit though. He then climbs out the window and gets shot at as he's leaving but doesn't get hit.

01:01:20 - A man running away has a shot fired at him, and as soon as he gets around the corner he sees that the shot hit him in the right side and he is bleeding.

01:02:30 - The man in the driver's seat of the car gets sniped (shot) in the throat and then in the head (and killed), and it is quite bloody. The man in the passenger seat then puts the car in gear and begins to drive away with his head down, but there are many more sniper shots fired at the car, though none of them hit anyone

01:04:10 - A man fires a shotgun a few times at another man, who dives behind a car. At some point the man who dove behind the car apparently got hit, though we never see it. That's the end of this scene, both men walk away from the exchange, although both have wounds.

01:07:50 - The man who was shot in the side lifts up his shirt (which is all bloody by now), and though you don't see the wound, you see some blood flowing from under his hand (which is covering the wound). The man then vomits.

01:10:50 - A car blows up, but nobody gets hurt.

01:11:25 - You may have trouble with this whole scene, though it's not violent at all. A man who has been shot basically fixes up the wound, but it's fairly graphic. He does it in a way that shows he's not disturbed by working on bullet wounds on himself, he's very business-like and professional about it, administering injections of anesthetic and cleaning and dressing the wound. The whole scene takes about a minute and 15 seconds or so.

01:23:55 - A man gets shot with a shotgun, although the shot is from behind the man getting shot so you don't really see anything. You'll still have problems with this whole scene because the man holds the gun on him for a while before eventually shooting him.

01:30:25 - A man with a shotgun breaks into an office and kills the man behind the desk. You then see the man and hear him dying on the floor for the next 20 seconds or so, and it's fairly gruesome. The other man who was in the office does not get killed.

01:33:40 - If anyone gets hurt in this scene, you don't see it or know it happens. I'm just noting it so you can watch it without worrying you're going to see something bad.

01:35:35 - You'll hear some gunfire to begin this scene, but you're basically just gonna see the aftermath of what happened here, you don't see any violence.

01:36:00 - You see a dead body floating in the pool.

01:36:10 - You see a man who was shot in the side and is bleeding while crawling away.

01:36:15 - You see a dead body lying on the floor. You then see this dead body again at 01:36:25.

01:39:50 - Nobody gets hurt in this scene, I'm just noting this so you can watch it without worrying that something bad is going to happen.

01:48:15 - If anyone gets hurt in this scene, you don't see it or know it happens. I'm just noting it so you can watch it without worrying you're going to see something bad.
