Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • Max has a device strapped to his back that will explode if he moves. He attempts to get away, but it sets off and he is then seen burning to death. Very emotional.
  • Jimmy and Ryan fight on a ship. They fall through a hole in the floor and Jimmy stabs Ryan in the neck (both are very bloody, and Jimmy has a graphic wound on his leg which has nails sticking into it). Jimmy is knocked over and the two fall down a tunnel and Jimmy escapes just as the ship explodes, killing Ryan.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The scene in which Max has a device strapped to his back that will explode if he moves and cannot be saved is very intense and emotional.
  • At the very end of the film, Jimmy has to disarm a bomb that is in the engine of his wife's car. He stops it however and nobody is harmed.
