Audience:

Feminists (some) might whine about the women being Whores and the (CLICHE:) objectifying of women. Undertsandable example being Gale and her Old Town girls. Men (some) however might praise the sheer badassness of all the male characters, and love the (CLICHE:) objectifying of women (male gaze, much?). Also, it's much easier to identify with someone of the same sex. So women will again have to switch gender roles, whereas males won't.

Females (some) might like the fact that several of the men range from pretty-boys (Dwight) too hulking tanks of muscle (Marve). And if they don't; and they definately understandably find women more attrative, there's a breif showing of breast and a bed scene between two ladies. They might also like the Old Town girls making a point about later on about the unwelcomed not stepping foot in their territory. Unless they like the taste of lead.

Do research into the audience demographics - get some figures.

Also, consider the violence in the film - quite extreme in places. This would be a good lead-in to audience effects debates and the issue of censorship and screen violence.
