'ARMY OF THE DEAD'
Rated R for strong bloody violence, gore and language throughout, some sexual content and brief nudity/graphic nudity.
What it’s about: A crew breaks into the zombie-occupied city of Las Vegas, hoping to score $200 million from a casino vault before the city is nuked.
The kid attractor factor: Teens will be drawn to the genre and action.
Good lessons/bad lessons: We all have to try and stay alive, for some reason.
Violence: Incredibly gory and violent. Lots of shooting, stabbing, sawing, zombie-eating. Not for the faint of heart.
Language: Swearing throughout
Sex: References to sex as well as nudity (topless zombie showgirls)
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: This is a hard-R action-horror film. Okay for older teens but too violent for kids.
