'HOBBS & SHAW'

What it's about: This "Fast & Furious" spinoff follows two favorite characters, Hobbs and Shaw, on a journey of their own to save the world.
The kid attractor factor: Teens will definitely be drawn to this action flick.
Good lessons/bad lessons: It's all about family, never forget. People come before machines.
Violence: A lot of extreme violence: car crashes, shooting, fighting, explosions, car chases, etc.
Language: Some swearing throughout.
Sexuality: References to flirting, etc.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: This is a wild, revved-up action flick. OK for teens but too violent for small kids.
'THE NIGHTINGALE'

The kid attractor factor: Not much, this is an adult drama.

Violence: Extreme, blunt and brutal violence. Several sexual assault and rape scenes, murder, torture, dismemberment, presented in bloody realism.
