I advise you not to watch the Saw flicks then!
I wouldn't say it was any more violent than most post-Tarantino thrillers or action movies. It's not like any of it was gratuitous, there were strong storylines running throughout.
The cannibalism scene was pretty mild in my opinion and was clearly portrayed as a negative act.

although sin city is violent i think that with the comic book style that its filmed in it's not overly graphic, i find films like schlinders list far more disturbing due to the element of fact as opposed to something that you know isn't real.

My girlfriend loves sick movies with a 'possible in reality' storyline: SAW, Captivity, Dead Silence, Shrooms, etc.
Do I need to worry?
Back on topic:
If you are bound at home: read that book that's been lying around for too long, check the toy-section on this site for errors, play mario kart on the Wii
whilst sitting, do a toy inventory. There must be something you want to do every weekend, but never seem to have the time for. Now is the time!
By they way: I may assume you told you boss a different story?
