What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

Cars, including a Ford Shelby Cobra Concept and a modified GTO, are prominently used as action vehicles, but the film is not primarily an advertisement.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Several named characters are killed, including Mayweather, Cobb, and Deckert; Gibbons is apparently killed before being revealed alive.

Graphic injury2/5
Why this rating?

Brief glimpses of injury and aftermath, but generally avoids explicit or lingering shots of blood.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Expect occasional profanity and insults typical of a PG-13 action film; the available sources do not document exact wording or frequency.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

Mentions of past relationships and mild flirtation; romance is very secondary to the plot.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Intense action includes terrorist attacks, assassination threats, abduction, shootouts, explosions, pursuit and a deadly train crash, but the film is not horror-focused.

Sexual content & nudity1/5
Why this rating?

Some mild sexual references and suggestive camera work common in action films.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

Limited background alcohol use may occur in social scenes, with no indication that substance use is central or glamorized.

Violence5/5
Why this rating?

Frequent intense action includes shootings, assaults, prison violence, hijacking, military combat, a coup, and multiple character killings.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience4/5
Why this rating?

Stone and allies repeatedly risk imprisonment and death to oppose a coup, rescue prisoners, protect civilians, and save the president.

Creativity & curiosity2/5
Why this rating?

The film uses inventive spy tactics, hacking, disguises, improvised alliances, vehicle action, and unusual settings to solve problems.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

Features a diverse cast, though roles generally adhere to action movie archetypes.

Kindness & empathy1/5
Why this rating?

Characters cooperate to protect the president and stop a coup, but compassion is secondary to loyalty, strategy, and violent action.

Positive messages2/5
Why this rating?

The story supports loyalty, resisting unlawful authority, protecting civilians and democratic government, and exposing corruption, while glamorizing vigilantist violence somewhat.

Good role models2/5
Why this rating?

Heroes show loyalty, courage, and commitment to civilians, but also use lethal force, theft, deception, and vigilantism.
