Talking Points:

Sexual Content: Mild

• April (Megan Fox) wears revealing outfits- short skirts and low cut tops

Violent/Disturbing Content: Excessive

• We see numerous fights throughout the film. Characters kick, punch, and throw one another.
• We see vehicles blow up with people inside.

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate

• We hear “sh-t,” “a–,” “b–ch,” “d–n,” and “h—.”

Drug and Alcohol Content: Mild

• We see characters drinking shots and beer at a bar.

Will Teens Like It? Yes

• I interviewed kids ages 8 to 10 who all liked the film. They were not scared and they liked the action.

Overall this is an entertaining action packed film. Parents need to be aware of the violence and some profane language throughout the movie. Depending on the child this is appropriate for kids ages 11 and up.
