10/10

One man chemical burns another; his skin bubbles and bleeds, a graphic hole in his hand can be seen, and it later turns into a scar.

A character gets brutally beaten by another man (not really considered a fight), yet the character getting beaten acts as if he enjoys the pain (he laughs hysterically as he takes punches to the face). The character's face gets very bloody, and he then jumps on the man, drooling and coughing blood on him.

There are more than a few scenes involving fights and beatings, often with bloody results; sometimes faces are shown with blood on them. People's heads are punched and bashed into the ground in close up. One especially brutal fight shows one man beating the other so severely even the other fight club members are shocked by the damage; his nose is badly broken (there's blood), his eye swollen shut, and teeth are knocked out.

In addition to the club fights, there are other fights, sometimes including repeated kicks.

Two men steal human fat in plastic bags from a liposuction clinic. One bag rips open and bloody fat is spilled on one man. Not very graphic but disgusting.

The bruising and bleeding from the fights are evident for days.

One man threatens another with a gun, hitting him with the barrel on the back of his head.

Several men threaten another man with castration, and it appears for a moment that they have followed through.

There is a car crash sequence in which the car rolls over an embankment. Characters are implied to be hurt, but there is no blood.

A man is shot in the head, it is brief and it happens in the dark so it isn't graphic. His dead body is later placed on a table, where we see his eyes are wide open, and blood/brain matter spills out from the back of his head.

A second man is threatened with castration followed by threats with a gun.

There is a long, surreal fight sequence traveling all over a parking garage.

5/10

Two characters chain-smoke, while another is seen smoking on screen a couple times.

One character is drunk in a couple of scenes.

One character tries to commit suicide with Xanax.

10/10

The scene where one character's hand is burnt with lye is very intense.

A man threatens another man with castration.

The fight scene where a character's face helplessly gets beaten to a bloody pulp is sadistic and somewhat disturbing.

There are multiple sequences involving vandalism and destruction of property. Some of them include impressive explosions.

The movie depicts both relatively minor and much more serious acts of terrorism some of which that can probably that can be monkeyed if seen by the wrong person.

There are shocking scenes of violence in this film, and the plot twist is unsettling.

A main theme of the film is insomnia, the main character is an insomniac
