"AMERICAN ASSASSIN"

Rated R for strong violence throughout, some torture, language and brief nudity.

What it's about: A young man suffers a terrible loss and is recruited to a top secret CIA assassin squad.

The kid attractor factor: Young star Dylan O'Brien and the action thriller genre.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Never let it get personal, but repressing emotions can be a dangerous thing. Be careful in the repercussions of trauma.

Violence: So much graphic violence throughout. Shootings with bloody bullet wounds, fistfights, stabbings, waterboarding/drowning, car crashes, explicit torture, a nuclear bomb.

Language: Swearing throughout

Sexuality: Some graphic female nudity, kissing, etc.

Drugs: None

Parents advisory: Extremely, extremely violent. For mature teens only.
