I was really i guess i wentsn back and watched before we did this and thatid th was really an inspiration. Sp its are. Its are rated because weve seen the effect of the violence emotionally. Em the consequences. Exactly. Makes it a little bit harderttli when yout actually put it put t through your head your fistad has to go through their head. H top of the head that shot. E you have to be a little more precise where youree going. That scene was amazing. In the trailer it was like ohikh my god out of the top of hisis head. The movie comes out marchm third.
