Swedish censorship / rating
| Certificate number | 208464 |
|---|---|
| Date | 2022-06-07 |
| Classification | Allowed from age 15 |
| Grounds for decision | Framställningen innehåller inslag av en utdragen sekvens där två män avrättas genom att hissas upp med snaror runt halsen, ljud av kvävning, närbild på fötter i dödsryckningar samt två döda män som släpas bort vilket kan medföra stark rädsla och oro. Framställningen bedöms kunna vara till skada för välbefinnandet för barn under 15 år. |
