Excessive as in you see broken bones protrude from broken limbs, cuts, severe facial and head trauma. Yes I would say it’s pretty gory and bloody when compared to movies not known for being gory. It’s not per say a “gore fest”, but if you’re sensitive to it I’d say to skip the movie

I jail there are two characters who are misrepresented. A Latina girl with the stereotypical super thin eyebrows and gang-esque dress. The other is more obvious. Maybe she's supposed to be a themed gogo dancer or prostitute, but the main black woman in these scenes looks like she came out of a disco
