VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A fiery explosion, an explosion of glass, a man's torso and hands are bloody, a man is skewered through the eyes, a man and woman are splattered with blood, a man's chest has blood on it, a bloody knife which results in Cruise having bloody hands, (everything mentioned up to here is shown again later in the film in flashback). People are threatened with guns, people are shot, people are beaten up, a high speed chase between a helicopter and train has Cruise and others tossed about and almost killed.
LANGUAGE 3 - Some mild obscenities, a couple of anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Espionage, betrayal, revenge.
MESSAGE - You can't even trust your friends; espionage is risky business.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
