Talking Points:

I enjoyed the character’s in the film; from newcomer Jeremy Renner as Brandt to Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. They were all entertaining and very captivating.

I loved how the spies worked as team to complete their mission. This could spark some good parent/child conversations.

The movie is very violent, maybe a little too much for a PG13 rating.

Sexual Content: Mild

Women wear low-cut out, revealing outfits.
Agent Jane Carter seduces an Indian media mogul as he’s showing her his private art collection.

Violent Content: Excessive

Throughout the film there are many fist fights, gun shots, explosions and car chases.
A bad guy kidnaps a weapons expert, while his family is held hostage.
When Ethan is in prison we see many prisoners beating on each other and on the guards.
We see several charactera being shot and killed.

Crude or Profane Language: Mild

Words such as “sh-t”, “d–n”, and “h–l,” are used several times throughout the film.

Drugs and Alcohol Content: Mild

Character’s drink alcohol at various points in the film.

Overall this was a very intense, violent and exciting movie; I was on the edge of my seat!!! Depending on whether your child is sensitive to violent scenes, I would say the film is appropriate for kids ages 12 and up.
