However, the violence involved in these acts is implied, and only the aftermath of the injuries is depicted. In a stronger scene, the camera lingers on a close-up shot of her female victim's face, where surgical stitches along the victim's eyes and throat can be seen, as blood oozes out from the fresh wounds. In another scene, a gaping hole in a man's back is shown, implying that he was tortured in some way. |
